WHAT TO EXPECT


  1. If we decide to work together, we will spend our first few sessions getting to know each other to start the therapeutic process with a strong foundation. The first few sessions will feel different than the rest, as it will focus on gathering information on your background and current symptoms. Throughout this process, we will identify goals to focus on throughout your therapy journey. Creating goals allows us to track your growth and revisit the foundation of why you are engaging in therapy.

  2. Once establishing our initial information and goals, we will engage in therapeutic intervention with the aim to develop insight and cultivate meaningful, long-lasting transformations. This may include working through deep-seeded patterns and dynamics that you carry in your life. As an eclectic therapist with diverse training, I will tailor the therapeutic intervention to best fit your needs. This will include but is not limited to:

    • Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)

    • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

    • Acceptance commitment therapy (ACT)

    • Motivational interviewing (MI)

    • Trauma-informed care

    • Gender and sexuality affirming care

    • Culturally competent care

    • Management of medical needs (e.g., healthy lifestyle changes, medication management, coping with illness/chronic pain)

    • Behavioral management

    • Exposure therapy

    • Self-esteem and body image exploration

    • Art/creative interventions

    • Parent training

    • Mindfulness

  3. Throughout our work together, we will regularly discuss progress and adjust session frequency, breaks, and termination as needed. The overarching goals of therapy is to help you grow enough insight and skills to where you easily cope with stressors on your own. Over time, your skills will become engrained and allow you to manage past, present, and future stressors with increased ease. Overall, I am focused on doing the complex, thoughtful, and sustained work of helping you transform your life.

FAQs

  • Typically, most people attend once a week. However, we can determine the frequency that best fits your needs. Factors that may impact how often you attend therapy can include current symptoms/functioning, your own schedule, and finances. During the initial consult, we can discuss what may work best for you!

  • Teletherapy allows for flexibility in scheduling, allowing therapy to fit into your life, rather than trying to fit your life around therapy. For example, you only need to block out time for your appointment, not for your appointment plus a commute. Also, being in a familiar and safe space can be helpful. You won’t have the added stress of finding the office, getting a parking spot, or dealing with strangers in the waiting room or hallway. There are also fewer disruptions to therapy--no need to cancel due to weather, sickness, travel, or childcare needs. If you are feeling hesitant towards telehealth, we can discuss this more during the consult to ensure you are feeling comfortable and confident before starting therapy.

  • No, not at all—therapy benefits everyone! The work we do can be much more than looking into a specific problem. It can be about seeking greater knowledge of yourself and who you are. Sometimes starting therapy when we feel good is the best time!

  • We understand that life can sometimes be unpredictable. We ask for 24 hours notice if you need to cancel. A portion of your session will be charged if an appointment is missed or canceled late. This is discussed further on our fees page.

  • Please see our fees page for more information.
