What to Expect

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. My goal is to make the process feel comfortable, supportive, and clear from the very beginning. Here’s what you can expect when working together.

Intake Session (First Appointment)

Your intake session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a safe, trusting space.

During this session, we will:

• Talk about what’s bringing you in and what you’d like support with

• Review your background, including important life experiences, relationships, and history

• Explore your current symptoms, stressors, and strengths

• Discuss your goals for therapy

• Go over policies, confidentiality, and answer any questions you may have

There’s no pressure to share everything all at once. You can move at your own pace. This session is about understanding your story and helping you feel comfortable.

Individual Therapy Sessions (50–55 minutes)

Ongoing sessions are where we begin to do deeper work together.

In these sessions, you can expect:

• A supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk openly

• Tools and strategies to manage stress, anxiety, emotions, and life challenges

• Exploration of patterns, thoughts, and behaviors

• Skill-building using approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and values-based work

• Gentle accountability and guidance toward your goals

Each session is tailored to you. Some days may focus on processing, while others may be more skill-based or solution-focused.

30-Minute Mental Health Check-Ins

Check-ins are shorter sessions designed to provide support when you need a quick touchpoint.

These sessions are ideal for:

• Maintaining progress between regular sessions

• Brief support during stressful periods

• Problem-solving a specific situation

• Reinforcing coping skills and strategies

While these sessions are shorter, they still offer meaningful support and connection. They are not intended for deep processing but can be a helpful way to stay grounded and supported.

A Collaborative Process

Therapy is a partnership. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow at your own pace.
