What is therapy?
Therapy is a safe space to problem solve, learn, understand and make changes. This is done with humor, skillfulness, and transparency backed by scientific research.

How will we work together?
There is a free half hour introductory phone consultation to make sure this is a good, professional fit. The first two sessions are intake sessions. By the fifth session, we will develop a plan which includes therapeutic goals you want to work on. These goals can be changed at any time.
