Welcome!

I am thrilled you have found your way here. Life sometimes takes us in directions that are challenging, troubling, and confusing. Sometimes our usual way of handling things become ineffective, or maybe they are not available to us anymore. We may feel stuck. My hope is that you will be brave enough to ask for help and strong enough to heal.

You deserve to heal.

FAQs

Q: Do you offer in-person or online?

Q: What can I expect from the first session?

Q: What can I expect from therapy?

A: The only way to really know is to come to a session. The relationship between client and therapist needs to feel safe and comfortable. This may not happen immediately, but most clients get a sense if this connection will develop after working together for a bit. And if not, THAT IS OK. I will help connect you with another therapist that may be a better fit.

A: The first session is more structured than weekly sessions. I will introduce myself and go over basic information. I will ask questions about your basic history, symptoms, barriers, and strengths. We will keep it pretty light the first session so we can get to know each other and see if we are a good fit.

Q: How long/how often are sessions?

A: As a therapist, I believe in assisting you in building skills to cope with any symptoms getting in the way of you enjoying your life. Because of this, we will primarily focus on skill-building around your goals to achieve what you want to work towards. There are times where processing significant events and emotions will also be beneficial. We will work together to identify barriers and strengths and move towards your goal(s). I may ask questions or offer an alternative perspective or suggestion, but the journey is yours.

A: Sessions run about 50 minutes on average. I typically begin clients once weekly, with a goal towards increasing time between sessions to allow you to implement new skills independently.

• Q: What are your favorite songs from your teenage years that you still rock out to when nobody else is listening?
