What Will Therapy Do For Me?
Therapists provide support, help you establish lifelong problem solving skills and arm you with the tools needed to cope with many issues including depression, anxiety, grief and so much more. As your therapist, I’m here to help you navigate personal growth and the struggles that may come along with life. My goal is to help you successfully manage difficult interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life. But, the true benefit of therapy depends on how well you integrate the tools and resources we review during our sessions into your daily life.
What is Therapy Like?
My goal is to create a safe, comfortable space for you to be yourself and explore your thoughts and feelings, openly and free of judgement. During our time together, we will discover which thoughts and feelings no longer serve you and work to expand them so they’re better suited to your needs and your goals. In our sessions, we’ll discuss the past and present relationships in your life that may be impacting your feelings and explore into the history behind your beliefs and values.
How Do I Know if Therapy is Right for Me?
Chances are, if you’ve gone through or are going through a stressful situation, therapy is right for you. Whether you’re experiencing a major life transition like divorce, unemployment or other relationship problems, therapy is the ideal way to release your stress and overcome these issues. Or, you might just be ready to learn more about yourself and establish more effective methods of accomplishing your personal goals. In short, people seeking psychotherapy are ready to meet the challenges in their lives and ready to make changes in their lives.
How Much Time Do I Have to Commit?
Counseling sessions are generally 50-55 minutes. As we begin your healing, you should expect to attend one session per week and when you’re ready, we’ll most likely reduce our sessions to a bi-weekly cadence.
Do You Take Insurance?
I don't accept insurance, but I can provide you with an invoice if you would like to submit an “out-of-network” claim to your healthcare provider.
Will Our Conversations Remain Confidential?
Your trust in me is the only way we will progress – confidentiality is the single most important aspect of my business and I take yours seriously. Prior to our first session, you will receive a copy of my confidential disclosure agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in session will not be shared with anyone. This is called “Informed Consent”.
However, if there comes a time that you would like me to share information or provide an update to someone on your healthcare team (your Physician, Naturopath, Attorney), I’ll need your written permission to do so prior to disclosing the agreed upon information.
While state law and professional ethics requires my confidentiality, I am obligated to share pertinent information with relevant parties in the following situations:
