FAQs

  • You are in control of the therapy session. Generally I will ask “what you would like to work on today?” During the session, I am focusing on building a strong and trusting relationship. The relationship between us is extremely important to me and to our work together. We will work to understand the processes and the “why” of how you do things. It is my belief that even the parts that seem to be doing us the most harm have positive intent and everything you do has a reason, our job is to uncover why and to show them compassion.

    By understanding your history and underlying processes, we can work towards discovering new, more natural ways of being that align with your true self. You'll learn to show compassion to your defenses and uncover what has been holding you back. Together, we'll work towards a brighter future where you are in control of your life.

  • Deciding how often to schedule sessions is a personal choice and I'm happy to work with whatever feels best for you. In my experience, starting with weekly or biweekly sessions can be beneficial for building a strong therapeutic relationship and making progress toward your goals. As we continue to work together, we can discuss tapering off to less frequent sessions as needed. Overall, I recommend scheduling sessions at least every other week to maintain momentum and make meaningful progress toward your well-being.
