What can I expect in a therapy session?
The process of therapy is different for each individual. But a commonality is that the therapeutic process is a journey toward increased awareness, insight, and a better quality of life. Therapy is also a process of self-discovery: of one’s potentials, strengths, and innate ability to heal. Our ultimate goal is to foster growth and change, leading to you feeling more comfortable and productive in your life.
Do you provide in-person or online counseling?
It is your choice whether you want counseling sessions conducted via a secure and easy-to-use telehealth platform (similar to Zoom or Skype) or in-person counseling.
What theoretical approach do you use?
I pull from a variety of theories and techniques. I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques are often helpful for my clients.
Will you just listen or will you actually give me tools? My therapeutic style is much more active and solutions-focused. I will listen to you when you need to vent, and I will also provide you with a myriad of evidence-based tools centered around your needs.
