Common Questions

Initially, I like to meet with clients once or twice a week for a 50-minute session, depending on the severity of their symptoms or needs. We will work together to determine if you need to decrease your sessions over time.

The length of therapy is unique to each individual. Depending on your goals, you may only need a few sessions or perhaps several months. We will collaborate and review your progress frequently to determine the best course of therapy for you.

Therapists can provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment and an unbiased viewpoint. Oftentimes, our friends and family are “too close” to the situation to offer useful feedback. Therapists are trained to teach new skills and can provide therapeutic modalities that help develop a deeper understanding of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that can support your mental well-being.

A typical therapy session will often begin by checking in with you to determine if you have any concerns or questions that you need to address in the session. Then I often use mindfulness and breathwork practice to support your nervous system, feeling safe and supported in session. We will address your treatment goals, and I may invite you to utilize art therapy or other therapeutic modalities to support you in working towards your therapeutic goals.

It is important to take an active approach to therapy, both in and outside of sessions. Your commitment to attending sessions regularly and practicing the skills and tools you learn in therapy, outside of our time together, is going to make a big difference in helping you to be successful in meeting your therapeutic goals in therapy.
