Frequently Asked Questions

What is counseling, and how can it help me?

Counseling is a collaborative process where a trained professional provides a safe, confidential space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It aims to help you gain self-awareness, develop emotional resilience, and acquire coping skills. Whether you’re dealing with stress, relationship issues, or more severe mental health conditions, counseling offers a structured environment to work through challenges. The ultimate goal is to empower you to make positive changes in your life, improve your mental well-being, and achieve a more balanced, fulfilling existence.

What can I expect from my first session?

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and establish a working relationship. We’ll discuss your reasons for seeking counseling, your goals, and any specific concerns you may have. This session also serves as an initial assessment where we can identify the areas you’d like to work on. It’s a collaborative space, and you’re encouraged to ask any questions you may have about the therapy process.

Do you offer remote or online counseling services?

Yes, I offer both in-person and virtual counseling services. Whether you prefer face-to-face sessions or the convenience of online counseling, I am here to support you. Virtual counseling provides a flexible and accessible option, allowing you to receive the help you need from the comfort of your home. In-person sessions are also available for those who prefer a traditional setting. My goal is to accommodate your needs and ensure you have the best possible experience in your therapeutic journey.

Do you offer a free consultation?

I do. You are welcome to a free 15-minute consultation with me so we can talk each other and determine if we are a good fit. You’ll be able to ask me any question that you may have, and I can learn about your situation to determine if my skill sets match your needs.

What can I expect to get out of therapy?

Depending on the reasons you are seeking out therapy, what you can expect to get out of therapy differs. Generally, my clients are seeking clarity around a certain issue, want to break the cycle of bad habits, or need advice and counsel about a current life situation. Whatever is going on for you, hopefully therapy will make it easier by providing clarity, relief, confidence, or whatever you feel you need at this time.

This is a great question… it’s important to feel comfortable and safe with your therapist. The best way to know if we are a match is by doing a free consultation so we can speak and get a feel for each other. Usually we can determine if we’d be a good match after one conversation.
