Everything you need to feel confident before booking.
General Therapy Questions
Who do you work with?
I work primarily with men of all ages, couples, and those who are wrestling with some of the deep, existential and spiritual questions in life.
What can I expect in a therapy session?
My style is friendly, conversational, warm, at times challenging, playful, and ultimately safe. You will have an inviting space to unpack the areas in which you are struggling
How long are therapy sessions?
Traditional weekly therapy sessions are 50 mins. I also offer extended, 'intensive' sessions. These can range from 90 minutes, 3 hours, 6 hours, or weekend intensives comprising two 6 hour sessions.
How much are therapy sessions?
Weekly therapy sessions are $250
Longer weekly sessions (90 mins) are $350
Intensive packages start at $950
Confidentiality & Privacy
Are your therapy sessions confidential?
Yes, everything shared between us is entirely confidential. The only exceptions to this are extreme circumstances covered by law (child abuse, elder, abuse, credible threats for murder) in which cases I am required by law to report to the relevant authorities. Any questions around this can be discussed in more detail at our initial session.
Do you report anything to employers or licensing boards?
Because I do not take insurance clients, I am not required to report on our sessions to anyone outside of the legal requirements covered above.
Scheduling & Payment

Do you accept insurance?
I do not accept insurance​. For more details on my position with this, see HERE.
What forms of payment do you accept?
The portal through which we meet for video sessions allows for you to store a credit or debit card on file, you will be charged for each session at the conclusion of the session.
What is your cancellation policy?
I have a 24 hour cancellation policy. This means if you cancel less than 24 hours before your appointment, you will be charged the full fee.
Specialized Services
Do you offer trauma therapy?
I offer trauma therapy through a somatic lens. Traumatic experiences get lodged deep in the body, and conventional talk therapy often can't reach it. For more details, see my page on this topic HERE.
Do you offer Gestalt therapy?
I have a rich history with Gestalt therapy, and it is one of my preferred modalities because it allows the childlike essence of play and all it's healing benefits to emerge. For more information, see my page on Gestalt therapy HERE.
How do I know if I need therapy?
If you're asking the question, it's probably time. I've lost count of the number of times clients have said to me over the years, 'I wish I'd reached out earlier', or, 'I looked at your site so many times before I reached out.' IT DOESN'T GET BETTER BY ITSELF!

Do you offer breakthrough Intensive sessions?
I do. Whilst weekly therapy sessions works wonderfully for many, for others it doesn't work for a variety of reasons.
Hectic work schedules, travel plans, demanding family life with young children.
