What you may want to know before scheduling.

Choose NEW Individual Client Intake – Telehealth in the secure scheduling portal.

The current rates are beside these questions. I bill each appointment when it happens. The couples starting process is not charged as one large package.

I meet by secure telehealth through SimplePractice. You can use the SimplePractice app or join through the secure link sent 10–15 minutes before your appointment.

This is a private-pay practice, so I don’t bill insurance directly. If you have out-of-network benefits, ask your insurer what it reimburses before scheduling. I can’t guarantee that your plan will cover any part of the fee.

I review the request before confirming it. You’ll then receive the intake documents through SimplePractice. Please complete them at least 24 hours before the appointment so we do not spend the session doing paperwork.

Yes, although you don’t need one before beginning therapy. If you would prefer to talk briefly before scheduling, you can request a 15-minute consultation. If you have read enough and want to begin, request the appropriate intake directly.

The Gottman Method comes from more than 50 years of research with couples. I use it to understand what happens when the two of you get stuck and to choose tools that fit the relationship in front of me. I am Gottman Method Level 3 trained. Read what that looks like in the room.

Yes. Affair-recovery couples begin with the same joint intake, individual appointments, Relationship Checkup, and assessment review. Direct affair-recovery work begins after the review, starting with atonement.

Yes. I work with couples who want to talk more honestly before marriage about conflict, family expectations, money, faith, intimacy, and the kind of partnership they want to build. Premarital counseling begins through the regular couples-intake request.

Yes. Couples appointments may be 50 or 100 minutes. Some conversations fit in 50. Others are more useful when we have time to get past the surface and let the conversation settle before stopping.

After the assessment, some couples schedule two 100-minute sessions in the same week for one conversation that needs more room. It is still couples therapy, just with more time and a quick return later that week. It is not emergency care. See how the intensive is structured.

Yes. Couples begin together for the 100-minute intake. The assessment process later includes one individual meeting with each partner.

You can still begin. Neither of you has to promise a particular outcome. We can use the time to understand the relationship more clearly and talk honestly about what repair or separation would require.

Yes, if you want it to be. We can include your faith without assuming it belongs in every conversation. Religious trauma, rethinking what you were taught, and not wanting a faith framework are also welcome in individual therapy. Read more about faith and religious trauma.

Sessions use a secure telehealth platform. Each partner should join from a private location where the conversation cannot be overheard. Do not send sensitive clinical details through ordinary email or a website form.

This practice is not an emergency service. Call 911 for immediate danger. In the United States, call or text 988 for urgent crisis support. If there is ongoing violence or coercive control, joint couples therapy may not be appropriate.
