Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth.
For individuals, I support clients through career and life changes, divorce and breakup recovery, dating and relationship patterns, family-of-origin issues, childhood wounds, and the process of rebuilding after major life events. I also work with those affected by a loved one's addiction, individuals pursuing sober living, and those seeking support during psychiatric medication tapering.
For couples, I help partners improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity, deepen intimacy, navigate life transitions, strengthen parenting partnerships, and address the impact of addiction. I also offer premarital counseling, separation and divorce support, and guidance for blended families.
For families, I help improve communication, strengthen parent-child relationships, navigate addiction and recovery, establish healthy boundaries, and heal family conflict. I also support families through divorce, blended family transitions, challenges involving teens and young adults, and intergenerational patterns.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple. Reach out through my contact form, email, or phone to schedule an initial consultation. During this conversation, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether we're a good fit to work together.
If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule your first appointment and begin building a plan that supports your goals and growth.
What makes you different?
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I help clients understand the deeper patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be shaping their current struggles.
I strive to create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment, explore challenges at your own pace, and develop practical tools alongside deeper self-understanding. Therapy is not about "fixing" you; it's about helping you reconnect with your strengths, values, and capacity for change.
How do I know therapy is right for me?
You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people seek therapy because they want support navigating stress, relationships, life transitions, difficult emotions, or recurring patterns that leave them feeling stuck. If you're curious about yourself, looking for support, or wanting to create positive change in your life, therapy can be a valuable resource.
How long will I be in therapy?
There is no set timeline for therapy. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific challenge, while others choose longer-term work focused on deeper growth and healing. Together, we'll regularly assess your goals and progress to ensure therapy continues to meet your needs.
What can I expect in my first session?
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your personal history, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve. You'll also have the chance to ask questions and learn more about my approach. The goal is to create a comfortable starting point and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship.
