FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your first few sessions are a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and how we might work together.

This is also a time for me to learn about your history and what makes you the unique individual you are today! These beginning sessions look a little different than the rest because I will have my notepad and will be asking more directive questions. Remember, you are the boss in our therapy sessions and therefore decide what information you feel comfortable to share at that time.

It’s a collaborative and comfortable conversation. No pressure, no judgment, just curiosity.

If you feel stuck, anxious or disconnected.

If you feel anxious, stuck, hopeful for change, wanting to get to know yourself better, or establish a support system, therapy is a great option.

I draw primarily from Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Gestalt Therapy, with integration of psychodynamic, polyvagal, mindfulness, and creative experiential techniques.
