Life comes with unanticipated twists and turns that can leave us confused, hurt, and frequently disoriented. Professional counseling can help with finding ways to deal with these issues.
If you or someone you know are experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, conflicts, stress, or other issues, I may be able to help.
Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you’ve faced, there’s nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it.
In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. You are taking responsibility by accepting where you’re at in life and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking therapy.
Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.
Therapy is a good investment in your life, your family, and your future. Attending regular sessions and becoming an active participant will help you get the most out of therapy.
I encourage you to talk about yourself, your feelings, and your life, ask questions, and reflect on your experience in therapy. The more I know you, and understand your needs, the better I can tailor therapy to address them.
Therapists are trained to listen and focus in ways that are different from how a friend will hear you. A therapist’s intent is simply to understand what you are saying in comparison to a friend, whose motivations are often more complex and personal.
The therapeutic relationship allows a deeper exploration of meaning and feelings without judgment. A therapist can use specific interventions and techniques effective for dealing with the presenting issue.
During our first session, I will ask you to describe your current situation in detail. I will ask about how you are feeling stuck, what is causing your pain and what you hope to change by engaging in therapy. You can expect me to be inquisitive, thoughtful, and respectful.
I am interactive and will answer your questions. We will review my consent to treatment and privacy forms. Together we will develop a method for working together.
The sessions are 50 to 75 minutes long.
Clients typically attend therapy every week. Depending on your needs and availability, however, you may decide to schedule sessions more or less frequently (e.g., twice per week or once every two weeks). The frequency of your sessions can be discussed during your initial consultation and may change during therapy when appropriate.
You are always welcome to contact me with any questions or for more information about my ability to accommodate you in my current schedule.
Yes, the sessions are confidential. I cannot tell anyone that you are my client or the content of our sessions without your written consent.
