Yes, there are several advantages to engaging in therapy, such as accessing a supportive, non-judgmental environment to genuinely express your thoughts and emotions. It's also a place to learn new skills and techniques to add to your adulting toolbox. We will identify your goals in the first few sessions and talk about ways you can reach your goals via therapy.

Remember, your commitment plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of therapy, which involves implementing what you learn in and beyond the sessions.

You might be asking about how long therapy will take because you are currently struggling and want relief. I get it however there is no guarantee or specific number of sessions.  I can share a generalization from clients that were committed to the therapy process.

For new clients, positive progress is typically seen after 3-5 sessions, leading to a sense of hopefulness about the journey ahead.

The total duration of therapy varies from client to client. Some clients find that 8-25 sessions suffice for the growth they seek, while others benefit from longer-term therapy. It's important to consider that progress is heavily influenced by the client's efforts outside of the therapy sessions.

This does not apply for the following :

• Therapy Intensives which are an accelerated path to healing. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

I value transparency and authenticity. Show up as you are. There is no need to mask anything. This may not come naturally to you at first, but we will get there together. The clients who have most benefited from my services appreciate having a safe space to be vulnerable; they are committed to the work and view therapy as a necessary investment to create the life they desire. 

I completely understand the apprehension, especially when working with someone new and considering sharing personal information, including things you've never disclosed before. Rest assured, unless there is a threat to your safety or someone else's, what you share remains confidential, and your session time is safeguarded as well.

If you have any questions regarding how confidentiality is maintained, feel free to inquire during a complimentary phone consultation or at any point during working together.

I provide all online services only due to the convenience and flexibility by eliminating travel and time constraints for busy clients.

Online therapy resembles an in-person office meeting, but we will connect through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform accessible on various devices without extra costs or software.

 A link to the therapist's online room is shared before the session, with reminders sent 48 and 24 hours prior. Sessions are accessed by clicking the link at the scheduled time, similar to Zoom or Google Hangouts.
