I offer a free 15-minute consultation for new clients. This gives an opportunity for me to understand what you're looking for, see if we are a good fit, and discuss the the next steps. This includes scheduling, insurance or other payment information, and some basic info about how therapy works.
Our first full session together will be 60 minutes. During this time, we will run through a short intake form that explores some of your past history, symptoms, and more. We will also review confidentiality and practice policies, so you know exactly what you can expect from our time together. After this, we discuss in more depth what has brought you to therapy, about your personality, and your goals and desires.
A typical session lasts 45-50 minutes. During this time, the floor is yours. You will be able to openly discuss whatever is on your mind without judgement. Together, we explore your reasons for beginning your journey in therapy and hopefully answer some questions that you have about yourself. See About Me for information on my personal therapeutic style.
In short, we talk about what YOU want to talk about- no more friends butting in about what you "should" do and changing the subject to the latest Netflix show while you're trying to process your life.
No one said relationships were easy... but I don't think anyone said they were THIS difficult?! Couples therapy sessions offer you and your partner a safe place to explore your relationship and work on the way you interact and communicate with your partner. Sessions are typically 60 minutes. During this time, we explore your dynamics, values, presenting concerns, and work towards getting you to a more communicative and loving place.
Additionally, there is never a wrong time to learn more about your relationship and what you can do to strengthen it. Many couples engage in premarital counseling to enter your marriage more steadily, or counseling to maintain positive co-parenting strategies after separation. Whatever your motivations, couples therapy can be deeply beneficial for your relational health.
I have a limited number of couples spots available at any given time.
