What to Expect
Starting therapy is brave — I’ll make it as comfortable as possible. Our counseling begins with:
Initial Consultation
We’ll start with a free consultation to review your therapy goals and see if we’re a good fit. In this session we’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, current challenges, and any questions about my approach. This meeting builds a basic sense of comfort and understanding before we begin.
First Sessions
In early sessions we'll learn about your experiences and make a treatment plan based on your goals. We'll build trust, review your history and current challenges, and choose practical strategies that fit your needs.
Ongoing Support
You’ll get steady support with regular sessions focused on your growth and healing. We’ll use practical tools for daily life and adjust them as you progress. Our ongoing work gives a safe space to process experiences, notice wins, and keep growing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapy
-
Individual therapy can benefit anyone facing challenges in their life, experiencing emotional distress, or seeking personal growth. Common signs that therapy might be helpful include persistent feelings of sadness or anxiety, difficulty managing stress, relationship problems, significant life changes, unresolved trauma, or simply feeling stuck. If your emotions or behaviors are interfering with your daily functioning or quality of life, therapy provides a supportive space to address these concerns.
-
The duration of therapy varies depending on your specific needs, goals, and the complexity of the issues you're addressing. Some clients experience significant improvement after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. We'll regularly assess your progress and adjust our approach accordingly. My goal is to provide you with the tools and insights you need to navigate life's challenges independently, not to create dependency.
-
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of effective therapy. Everything you share during our sessions remains private, with a few exceptions required by law: if there's evidence of abuse or neglect of a vulnerable person, imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or if records are court-ordered. I'll always discuss these limitations with you at the beginning of our work together to ensure you feel safe and informed.
