What is your style/approach to therapy?
My style is a one-on-one talk style of therapy. I provide you a space to process the hard stuff but we will also learn about good stuff, like wellness. This might include better sleep, eating habits, body movement, coping skills, self-care & self-esteem. With solution-focused work, we aim to see improvement in 3-6 months (each case is unique).
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
Counseling can be affordable. Check your health insurance! Many plans will pay for ALL of your counseling sessions. Others have you pay a copay each session that often ranges from $10 to $45. If you don't have insurance, then you can look into self-pay and other low-cost options (I'm happy to discuss this with you). And counseling can be accessible! I do 100% online video therapy. I promise, it's not scary. I make it feel as natural and laid-back as possible.
What’s the most profound, insightful, or interesting thing you’ve learned as a mental health professional?
Counseling should not only focus on your mind/thoughts. Your body needs some attention too. Everything your mind and body does has a purpose. The thoughts, worries, feelings have a purpose. The headaches, stomach problems, muscle pain have a purpose. We just tend to ignore them. Let's figure out what your mind & body are trying to telling you.
