Seeking out therapy is a very personal choice, and there are many reasons why people do this. Sometimes people are looking for help with long-term psychological issues, or problems with anxiety or depression. Other times it is in response to unexpected changes in one’s life such as a divorce or work transition. Many seek my advice as they aim for their own goals on a path to growth. Working with me can help you provide insight, support, and new strategies for all the challenges life puts in your path. Therapy can address many of these issues such as depression, anxiety, conflict, grief, stress management, and general life changes and transitions.

Every therapy session is unique and caters to each individual and their specific goals. It is standard for therapists to discuss the primary issues and concerns in your life during therapy sessions. It is common to schedule a series of weekly therapy sessions, where each session lasts about 50 minutes. Therapy can be short-term, focusing on a specific issue, or longer term, addressing more complex issues or ongoing personal growth. It is important to process what has been discussed and integrate it into your life between sessions. For therapy to be most effective, it helps to be active both during and between sessions. People seeking psychotherapy are willing to take responsibility for their actions, work towards self-change and create greater awareness in their lives. Here are some things you can expect out of therapy:
- Compassion, respect, and understanding
- Perspectives to illuminate persistent patterns and negative feelings
- Real strategies for enacting positive change
