In-office therapy is currently unavailable, but I offer convenient and accessible video counseling and telehealth therapy for individuals, families, and couples. This option is especially beneficial for professionals who travel frequently, college students, those living in remote areas, or anyone facing health or time constraints that make office visits challenging. I specialize in working with older adolescents, adults, and seniors, providing compassionate support tailored to your unique needs.
HOW THERAPY CAN BE HELPFUL
HOW THERAPY CAN BE HELPFUL
Therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth, offering meaningful insights and lasting change. While a variety of strategies can enhance the experience, it’s important to recognize that some emotions you’ve been avoiding may surface along the way. Facing them, however, is a vital step toward healing and resilience.
WHAT IS THERAPY?
WHAT IS THERAPY?
Therapy is a collaborative process - an opportunity for self-reflection, growth, and healing. It's not something that happens to you; rather, it's an active journey that empowers you to make meaningful changes in your life. not something that is done to you.
To get the most out of your sessions, consider:
Seeking clarity: If something is unclear, ask questions to deepen your understanding.
Taking notes: Jotting down key insights can help you track progress and reflect on discussions.
Engaging in self-work: Completing recommended exercises or assignments ensures that new strategies and behaviors become a natural part of your daily life.
By fully engaging in the therapeutic process, you'll gain the tools to create positive, lasting change.
The encouraging news is that even if certain emotions have been buried, they remain present—and by gently exploring them over time, you can work through them and find healing. Some people worry about moving too fast or too slow in therapy, but it’s important to remember that you set the pace. You have control over your sessions, deciding how much to share and when. Adults are encouraged to communicate openly with their therapist about their preferences and needs, ensuring that therapy aligns with their personal comfort and goals.
REFLECTION AFTER YOUR SESSION
REFLECTION AFTER YOUR SESSION
Taking time to reflect after each therapy session can help you track progress, gain insight, and prepare for future conversations. Consider these guiding questions:
What topics or concerns do I want to focus on in my next session?
How has my mood or emotional state shifted compared to previous weeks?
Were there any significant events this week that my therapist should know about?
What key discussions or insights emerged from my last session?
Did anything from the previous session leave me feeling unsettles or unresolved?
Are there lingering thoughts or emotions I haven't fully explored yet?
Is there something I feel hesitant to share with my therapist?
Have I completed any suggested exercises or homework, and what did I learn from them?
TRANSITIONING OUT OF THERAPY
TRANSITIONING OUT OF THERAPY
As you grow and make progress in therapy, sessions will naturally become less frequent, however you may always request an earlier appointment if needed.
When you feel ready to conclude therapy, we will work together to plan a final session. This allows us to reflect on your journey, review the progress you've made, and discuss strategies for maintaining long-term success. If I sense that we are not making meaningful progress, we will process this together and a referral to another specialist may be recommended.
After therapy concludes, any future contact is entirely your choice while always respecting professional boundaries. The goal is to ensure you feel confident and equipped with the tools to continue thriving beyond our sessions.
