Frequently Asked Therapy Questions

Yes

Depends! Therapy can be helpful for people who want to make changes in their lives. Sessions can be heavy. Sessions can be light. Sometimes we dig deep into trauma and have to do some grounding before closing out the session. Other times we prioritize happy, lighter content to focus on positive aspects. Everyone's journey is different, but I'm here to help guide (and challenge) you every step of the way. 

Therapy is so much more than venting, though the occasional vent session can feel nice. It is working through false narratives, challenging our thought patterns and reshaping our brains to maximize our potential to meet our goals. Throughout your therapy journey, I will provide actionable steps as well as the occasional homework assignment to create an environment of sharing, learning and growing. 

Understandable! It can be difficult to open up when you are carrying a heavy load, especially if you're the one that everyone usually turns to. That's where I come in! I lean into my counseling training and experience to create a safe space where you can offload some of that weight and finally take a breath! Therapy can be scary, but the hardest part is getting started. 

Initial/Intake Session: $150

In the initial session, we will deep dive into why you are attending counseling, factors that influence your life, and what your goals are for working with me. By the end of the session, I'll have a better understanding of who you are as a person, what your needs are and how I can best help you. Together we will begin planning out your customized path to relief and peace in your life. 

Regular Sessions: $125

In regular 55 minute sessions, we will discuss all relevant topics from current events in your life to childhood trauma and everything in between. Your life has been shaped by your experiences, so your therapy journey should be as well. Each session is customized to your needs to ensure that you continue making progress towards freedom from exhaustion and guilt. 

I require 48 hour notice of cancellation. You are responsible for the entire fee if cancellation is less than 48 hours. An occasional exception may be made in the case of emergency.
