Starting therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating.

Therapy is simply a place to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and begin moving toward the life you want to live.

Every session is tailored to you, your goals and your needs. Here’s a general overview of what a session could look like.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A

Typical Therapy Session

01. CHECK IN

We begin by checking in and I’ll ask you if there is anything on your mind, or we can pick up threads from our last session. You get to choose the topics and pace that you feel comfortable with discussing.

02. EXPLORE

Together, we will have a conversation and I will ask questions to better understand you, the situations, and what you are hoping to change.

03. IDENTIFY + CHANGE

I will help connect dots or patterns that might not be clear and we will discuss tools and techniques to help you make meaningful, lasting change.

04. CLOSE

I will check in with you at the end of the session to ensure you are feeling okay to move on with the rest of your day, and we can set intentions or reflections for next time.

How does therapy help?

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

Many people begin simply because they want to understand themselves better or feel more at ease in their daily lives.
