Therapy can be scary. And let’s face it, talking about painful life experiences can be difficult.  In my work, the most important goal is to build a mutual trust and honesty with my clients.  In building that relationship, we can find what works. Clients should be empowered to make therapy work for them!

Just Try it. Therapy is just like anything else that is new. New things are unfamiliar. It is very normal to feel hesitant about a new experience especially if you are not used to being vulnerable. Challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone and give it a try. If you try it and do not like it and are unable to work through the discomfort, you may not be ready just yet and that's okay. Grant yourself some grace in making the decision, commit to at least three sessions, and then make a decision about whether or not to continue. You even can talk about your hesitancy about therapy in therapy. Don't deprive yourself of the opportunity to possibly feel better because of fear.

That therapy isn't magic nor are there any wrong ways to do it. Therapy is a place to figure it out, make some plans, and find some confidence and peace.

UPDATE: not currently accepting insurance, out of network only, but lets check your out-0f-network benefits and see whats up So, you're considering therapy? I get it, things are crazy and it feels like we are living in a really bad late-night movie, complete with sad and pathetic villains. I don't have any magic over here, but I do have a place where we can hopefully get you to a place that looks more like where you want to be. I have an eclectic approach, which is a fancy way of saying that I don't rely on any one way of getting to where you want to be. But my starting point is always from a place of your strengths, the things you are already doing well; you are not your symptoms. I trend toward elements from Acceptance and Commitment, Narrative, Positive Psychology, Existentialism, Brief Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered, Behavioral Activation, and Mindfulness. I am progressive in my politics, a non-believer, and I welcome cursing as a means of expression. I believe that humor can get us through a lot of things. I mention this only because I have often had difficulty finding my own therapists that didn't wince when I said fuck or want to steer me in a spiritual direction. I am LGBTQ+ and BIPOC affirming and welcome folks from all backgrounds and ethnicities.

That they key to successful therapy is finding a therapist YOU connect with! I encourage all people to take advantage of the free consultations offered by therapists and treat it like an interview to see if they are a good match.

When life gets overwhelming and seems impossible to deal with, we sometimes cope in ways that can be unhealthy and damage our peace/happiness. It is important to remember that what we do at certain times in order to survive does not make us “bad” people. We do the best we can, with what we have at that given time. I can offer you ways to not only survive in life, but to grow in a positive way. I will help you promote your wellbeing and healing by encouraging you to be compassionate towards yourself.
