Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about online therapy
Starting therapy is a big step. Here are answers to some common questions I hear from prospective clients. If you have other questions, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to help.

What is your approach to therapy?
I believe that therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. My approach is informed by evidence-based therapies, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the Gottman Method for couples therapy. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I adapt our sessions to fit your goals, whether that means developing practical coping skills, improving relationships, increasing self-understanding, or making meaningful life changes. My goal is to help you build the insight, skills, and confidence needed to create lasting change.
Do you give homework or tools between sessions?
Yes. Depending on your goals, I may suggest exercises, reflection questions, worksheets, reading materials, or other practical tools to help reinforce our work together between sessions. These activities are tailored to your needs and can help you build new skills, increase self-awareness, and create lasting change.
What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based form of therapy that helps people develop practical skills for managing emotions, coping with stress, improving relationships, and responding more effectively to difficult situations. DBT combines acceptance and change, helping individuals learn to navigate life's challenges while building a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and aligned with their goals.
What is the Gottman Method for couples therapy?
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that focuses on improving communication, strengthening emotional connection, and helping partners manage conflict in healthier ways. It is based on decades of research on what makes relationships succeed or struggle, and provides practical tools to help couples build trust, deepen friendship, and navigate disagreements more effectively.
