Sessions take place from the comfort of your own home, or private space. Simply log into Jane (a secure, encrypted platform) and get the session started. You will need to have a good internet connection and a private, quiet area to make sure you're able to talk comfortably without interruptions.

Please note that Jane works best with use of Chrome. If there are any disruptions or technical challenges, we can switch to phone, or you will have the option to re-schedule to another time.

After our 20-minutes consultation call, we will meet for an intake session which involves a 50 (or 90) minute conjoint session with both you and your partner present. This is followed by two 50-minute individual sessions for me to learn more about your individual background. These can be scheduled during the course of one day or over the course of a couple weeks.

Next, we will schedule your desired session times and frequencies; most couples benefit from weekly sessions (especially at the beginning). I will make sure to seek out your feedback throughout the process to see whether my therapy approach and the frequency of our sessions are working to address your concerns and laid out goals. I encourage you to bring up any concerns you have at any point in time.

This all depends on a lot of factors. Therapy is tailored to each couples' goals and it's impossible to predict how many sessions will be needed prior to initial assessment. We will discuss your goals and I welcome you to bring up anything that is and isn't working in our sessions to make sure we're on the right track. I will check in with you at the end of each session and make any needed adjustments. Some concerns such as betrayal, affairs, or substance use may require more sessions or a referral to individual therapy.

Therapy can be helpful to a lot of couples. In EFT, and therapy in general, trust and safety are at the forefront and most paramount to conducive work. There may be instances that make it difficult to create safety and trust in session. For instance, if there is ongoing physical violence or undisclosed and ongoing infidelity, it may be suggested to seek individual therapy to address these concerns before seeking couples therapy. If you have any questions whether couples therapy is right for you and your partner, we can discuss this during the consultation call.

Friends are amazing resources as supports, and can be helpful during the course of therapy. Sometimes friends may take sides, and that makes it challenging for them to fully support you. A therapist offers you unbiased support in addressing your concerns, and utilizes evidence-based treatment to help you feel more connected.

I encourage you to choose a therapist with whom both partners connect well with and feel that they can share personal things with. Sometimes it takes talking with a few different therapists to see who you feel can best help you with your concerns.

You can also reflect upon what your belief of change is, and whether the therapists' approach aligns with that. Don't be afraid to ask questions about a therapist's qualifications or past experience in working with certain concerns.

I value our time together and commit to showing up to help you explore and change your patterns. Your time is reserved especially for you, and for that reason, I ask that you cancel or re-schedule your session 48 hours in advance to avoid being charged the full fee.
