What Should I Expect During My First Visit?

At your first session, you may be asked to complete paperwork if you have not done so online, so please come 15 minutes early if you need to complete paperwork. I will conduct an intake interview and ask you a series of questions to get an understanding of your concerns, challenges, and what you expect to get out of therapy.

How Long is Therapy?

Therapy is a personalized experience and people progress at different rates. Therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix. Therapy is a healing process that requires your participation, input, and effort and can be challenging and hard work. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behaviors and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring about transition, personal growth, healing, and happiness.
