Frequently Asked Questions

  • I believe that a positive therapy relationship is the cornerstone to successful outcomes. Because of this, your first session will focus on building a safe therapeutic relationship. Initial sessions vary depending on the type of therapy (individual, couples, or family), but it is always done with your ideal outcomes in mind.

    Individual Therapy:

    A first session includes covering relevant mental health history, current mental health symptoms, and what your ideal therapy outcomes are. We use this information to tailor a treatment plan that is unique to you. We will also discuss how often it is therapeutically recommended for you to come to therapy.

    Couples Therapy:

    Initial sessions for couples counseling includes similar themes as individual therapy, however your relationship is the "client." We will create a space where each member of the relationship feels safe, valued, and heard. I utilize Gottman methods to help couples reach their ideal goals. With this expertise, we can pinpoint areas of strength and areas of growth for the relationship and work toward your ideal outcomes.
