FAQ

How do I know if therapy is right for me?
Therapy can benefit anyone seeking greater self-understanding, support during difficult times, or wanting to improve their relationships and overall well-being. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply want to understand yourself better, therapy can provide the support and tools you need.
-
What can I expect during my first session?
Your first appointment with me is all about laying the groundwork for our journey together. During this session, it's a relaxed, open conversation where we get to know each other. You can share what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns you have. I'll be there to listen, understand, and outline how we can work together. It's a judgment-free zone where you're encouraged to be yourself, colorful language and all, and share freely to start your journey towards growth and healing.

What happens in a therapy session?
Therapy sessions are typically 50-60 minutes long and involve a collaborative process tailored to your unique needs and goals. We'll engage in open and honest conversations about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Depending on what's most helpful for you, we might use a variety of approaches, including traditional talk therapy, EMDR for trauma processing, experiential techniques like role-play or guided imagery, and other evidence-based methods. Together, we'll explore challenges, identify patterns, and develop strategies to help you heal, grow, and achieve your goals.

How long does therapy take?
Therapy length varies depending on your needs and goals. Some clients find significant progress in a few months, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. We'll discuss your progress regularly and adjust our approach as needed.

How does online therapy work?
We'll meet virtually through secure video sessions or phone calls. Online therapy offers the same benefits as in-person therapy, with added convenience and flexibility. To ensure your safety and privacy, please be in a quiet, private space for our sessions, and not be driving. You'll receive a link to join our secure video platform before our scheduled time.

Do you offer in-person sessions?
Currently, I do not offer in-person sessions, focusing exclusively on online therapy. This may change in the future, but for now, all sessions are conducted virtually.
-
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, absolutely. What you share in therapy is strictly confidential, with limited exceptions required by law (such as if you pose a risk to yourself or others). It's important to feel safe and trust that your privacy is protected. goes here

Will I have homework or things to practice between sessions?
