Before your first therapy session, you will need to complete initial paperwork/forms that I will need for my records.  The information on these forms will remain confidential. The first session usually lasts 75 minutes.  During our time, we will discuss some of your background/history, the reason you are seeking therapy, goals you have for therapy, payment, and policies.

There can be endless benefits of therapy! That is not to say that it happens just by showing up, it takes committed effort on my part and your part. Some benefits of talk therapy are feeling decreased worry and sadness with increased feelings of being understood, and satisfied in relationships with self and others.

There is no “one size fits all” with therapy. Therapy may be a short-term journey for some, while for others it may be a long-term process of their life.  But no worries, we will make sure to discuss the length of time to reach goals and frequency of our sessions.

YES! Everything that is shared within our therapy sessions strictly stays between you and I. However, there are some instances where I would have to disclose information about our sessions. These exceptions are further detailed in the Notice of Privacy Practices and Informed Consent documents that will be made available to you during our first session and on this website.
