Accepting New Clients
Get To Know Me
What does success look like in therapy? How will a client know that they are making progress?
Success looks different for everyone. Typically during the first session, I work with the client to identify goals and understand their expectations from therapy. A client will know they are making progress in many ways, but a primary one will be there will be more "good" moments than "bad" moments along with feeling more well-equipped to handle life's challenges is another way a client may notice they are making progress.
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I started out very interested in forensic psychology and remain interested as I was set out to become a psychologist; however, I then realized I wanted to specifically do counseling without various other roles and duties. I wanted to be able to focus on the client without distraction and provide the most productive and effective experience for them.
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
Starting therapy can be intimidating for sure. I would encourage most people to think about it as a neutral, outside party that is solely here to listen to you and support you. It's a time where you can prioritize you and your needs without feeling like you owe the same level of support in return. It's your session.
