Therapy is your space to talk about anything and everything. I’ll never pressure you to talk about anything you don’t feel comfortable with, but it is typically helpful for me to get an understanding of your background and past experiences to know how to best support you in therapy.

During our first few sessions, I’ll ask questions about what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to work on in therapy. As sessions continue, you’ll bring in whatever is on your mind that day, or any thoughts and emotions you might want to process. This can include relationships, work stress, life transitions, family history, body image, sex, etc. Nothing is off the table in therapy.

The time spent in therapy is different for everyone. I’m here to provide support for however long you need. I do typically recommend new clients starting off with weekly sessions so we can build trust and gain traction on your goals. From there, you’ll eventually taper down to bi-weekly, monthly, or as needed sessions.

Some clients are in therapy short-term to focus on specific goals and solutions, and others enjoy being in therapy long-term to have ongoing support for processing their thoughts and feelings.

You are not alone in feeling this way. It can feel intimidating to start therapy! This is why my priority is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up authentically.

This is also why it’s so important to find a therapist you feel comfortable with. If you’re feeling uncertain about starting therapy, you can always reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation to see what it’s like speaking with me. I’ll answer any questions you have about the process of therapy, and help determine if we’d be a good fit to work together. Therapy is a personal decision and you get to decide when you are ready to start the process.
