Frequently Asked Questions
What IS therapy?
Therapy is a resource best utilized to navigate issues, concerns, or crises - not as a response to a singular event. It is a relationship developed between two people that is unlike most we experience.
Therapy is a gateway to any number of possibilities. It just requires a little leap.
Do I need therapy?
That all depends!
I offer free consultations to get to know each other a bit and determine if therapy (and therapy with me) is a good fit.
And personally, everyone can use a touch of therapy!
What makes you different than other therapists?
Based on my own experiences with therapy, I conduct sessions in a way that feels more natural - I like to have a good conversation. I will challenge you, poke around a bit, and dare you to dig deeper, and I do it all with a touch of humor to ease the discomfort.
Feeling fearful or concerned about leaping?
I totally get it. TOTALLY. Starting a new relationship, ANY relationship can be daunting. Here are some of the most common fears about taking the next step:
My problems aren’t severe enough
Where and how do I start
I don’t want to be judged
I don’t want to tell a stranger intimate details about my life
Talking about my problems will only make them worse
If you aren’t convinced, here’s why therapy is a GREAT idea:
*Safe and confidential space that is all YOURS.
*Expert guidance.
*Improved mental well-being and resilience.
*Life-enhancing skills.
*Personal growth and empowerment.
*Support through life transitions.
