Frequently Asked Questions

There are many reasons why people seek therapy, such as coping with stress, dealing with trauma, improving relationships, and finding a non-judgmental listener. I provide unconditional support, new perspectives, and effective coping strategies. Therapy is for anyone looking to be authentic, gain self-awareness, and make positive changes in their life. You don’t have to be in crisis to start therapy—don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure.

Each therapy session is unique to each person’s needs. Typically, I will discuss primary issues or concerns with you. I will oftentimes assign “homework” for you to do in between sessions to help you integrate our conversations into your life. Therapy is most effective when clients are authentic and motivated to change. Authentic means that you are being as honest with me as is comfortable, so that I can help you as best as I can. Motivated to change means a willingness to consider different perspectives and new ways of coping, both in-session and out. No matter what, you’ll receive unconditional compassion and validation from me.

I provide an emotionally safe environment for my clients to feel open and comfortable. The relationship between myself and the client is my primary focus. I want you to feel that you can tell me anything you need to. I also provide a fresh perspective on problems and help you find the best coping skills for your needs. Here are a few specific issues my clients receive support for:

• Improved self-compassion and self-confidence
• Better communication skills
• Skills to improve your relationships
• Learning new ways to cope with anxiety, stress, panic attacks, and depression
• Gaining a better understanding of who you are, what you value, and what your goals are

Yes! I take this very seriously as a therapist. What we talk about stays between us, unless you give me prior written permission. Be aware of the following exceptions required by law to this rule:

• Suspected child abuse, or dependent adult/elder abuse.
• If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person.
• If a client intends to harm themselves.

I will make every effort to work with the individual to ensure their safety. However, if an individual does not cooperate, additional measures may need to be taken.

Just like therapy, medication is a tool. There is no shame in using medication. Many people find improvements in their mental health with medication. However, therapy and medication are not substitutes for each other. Many people find it beneficial to use therapy and medication together. Working with your primary doctor can help determine what is best for you. I do not provide advice of any kind regarding medication.
