You deserve to feel heard and understood in a safe space without judgment.

So now is the time to take the leap and to sit down with a therapist who not only hears you, but sees you too.

 How Therapy Works:

First things first, let’s schedule a free 15 min consultation so that we can discuss your needs. .On this call it gives you a chance to tell me the things you are seeking from therapy. Be sure to ask any questions that you may have. This call helps us to see if we are a good fit for each other.

After your consultation if we are able to meet your needs this is where the magic begins. We will schedule your initial session to begin services. You will get a text and email reminder for the appointment and you will get an email with intake forms. These forms MUST be filled out 24hrs before your session. The first session will feel like you are doing most of the talking but it helps to build our foundation.

During your first session we will discuss your needs, your level of functioning, establish goals and so much more. Your goals discussed in this session will be the leading force in our sessions and we will often refer back to them when we get stuck, off track or just need to be reminded of why we are here.

As you progress we will assess your progress periodically to ensure we are on the same page and you are moving forward. We will make updates to your goals, if needed (because life is always happening).

  • How is therapy different than coaching?
    Therapy is conducted by a licensed trained professional who is regulated by a professional licensing board. A therapist will help you see how your thoughts, and feelings impact your behavior through looking at your patterns, past traumas and current levels of functioning. Therapy is more than just goal setting it is a deep process of unlearning and relearning new ways to process life. Although there is a place for coaching it should not be used in place of therapy.
