  • How do I know if therapy is right for me?

    Therapy can be a valuable resource for anyone experiencing emotional distress, mental health challenges, or trauma. If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma-related issues, therapy can provide support. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right choice, I offer an initial consultation to discuss your needs and determine the best path forward.

    You can schedule an appointment by filling out the contact form here or by contacting me directly via email or phone. We’ll work together to find a time that suits your schedule for an online therapy session.

  • What should I expect during my first session?

    In the first session, we’ll take time to discuss your concerns, goals, and any relevant background information. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and gain clarity about the therapy process. My aim is to create a supportive, trusting environment so you can begin your healing journey.

  • How long will therapy take?

    The length of therapy depends on your individual needs and goals. Some clients may benefit from a few sessions, while others may need more long-term support. Therapy is personalized, and we will regularly check in on your progress. There is no commitment to a certain number of sessions, and we’ll adjust the frequency and duration as needed.
