Therapy Information

Finding the right therapist for you is incredibly important for your therapy journey

It is time you have hit your limit and you know you need help. It is time to take the first step in reclaiming your life. Finding the right therapist is of the upmost importance to you. You want someone who has experience, can help you, and will understand the challenges you have been facing. 

Though I work with a wide array of clients I am not the right therapist for everyone. Use the information here to help you determine if we will be a good fit.

My ultimate goal in therapy is to have my clients reach the point where they feel therapy is no longer needed.

For Potential Clients

I work with those ages 14 and up both face to face and using telehealth. I specialize in treating issues related to anxiety, trauma, depression, problems with motivation, and the social challenges related to autism in women and girls. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so that you can determine if I would be a good fit for your therapy needs.

 

What to expect at your first session

Our first meeting will be an intake interview. Our intake will start with a review of the informed consent and limits of confidentiality. During the intake interview I will ask a wide range of questions so that I can understand you, your history and your reasons for seeking therapy. This session will usually last between 45-60 minuets.

 

What to expect at Follw-Up Sessions

Your follow up sessions will all be around 45-55 minuets. We typically will start with a check in to see if there is anything urgent we need to discuss. We will then typically move into discussing your therapy homework, how it went and what you observed. We will then start talking through the challenges you are facing. My approach will be a combination of listening, education about the human mind and human behavior, and discussing alternative behaviors to help you reach your therapy goals.

 

How Often We meet

I like to meet once a week with my clients for about four to eight weeks (depending on the nature of the challenge weekly sessions might go on for longer). Then, once it seems you are doing well, we will start meeting every two weeks, and if the gains are maintained, we then move into monthly check-ins. If you continue doing well we either move into maintenance therapy, where we meet every one to three months, or we terminate therapy. I hope to have most of my clients reaching termination of active therapy in 12 sessions.
