Therapy can be a helpful resource for those who experience pain, sadness, fear, worry, etc. at levels that are interfering with life. Therapy can also be a helpful tool in cultivating a compassionate and affirming relationship with the self. Therapy is for anyone who is curious to get to know their self more openly and deeply.

Healing is a process. Therapy takes time. For many people healing is ongoing and ever present. Rather than experiencing a metamorphosis change may occur subtly and incrementally. Healing happens at different rates for everyone. If you have concerns about how long you’d like to be in therapy for you’re invited to bring this up at the beginning of the therapeutic process.

No. Therapists often specialize in specific therapeutic modalities or in working with specific populations. Some therapy modalities focus mainly on thoughts and behaviors, others are focused on things like relationships and embodiment. To view my specializations visit the home page.

If you are experiencing a high level of distress it may be helpful to meet on a weekly basis if possible. Some people choose to meet weekly, every other week, or monthly. Therapy is most effective when there is some consistency rather than being on an as needed basis. However the rate of how often you participate in therapy is up to you.

I believe therapy should be accessible to all people. If you cannot afford the standard rate of therapy, the cost may be reduced as needed. If this applies to you please reach out and ask about sliding scale options for therapy. To view more details about therapy costs see the services page.

During the first session I typically spend some time reviewing documents with clients and checking in about questions. Then we’ll check in about what sparked your interest in therapy, what hopes, fears, goals, and/or expectations you have about the process.
