It can be intimidating to look for a therapist, particularly when already in a state of chronic distress. Having a positive dynamic and building a sense of trust with a provider is key.

​

I would encourage anyone looking for a therapist to spend some time reflecting on what they hope to gain out of therapy and, as best able, identifying particular areas that seem to cause difficulty in daily life functioning and/or causing reduced quality of life. ​

​

I understand that therapy can be a costly investment. Therefore, I believe that setting up clients for success is as important as the therapy itself. ​

Here are some suggestions for gaining the most out of your therapy journey. ​

​

• Attend therapy regularly and consistently.

• Take notes at your sessions & reflect on them.

• Make an active effort to implement coping skills & habits into your everyday routine. 

• Do your best to avoid distractions when attending sessions & refrain from using the phone, driving, and/or completing other tasks that will limit your attention and focus.

​

As a therapist, I am here to educate, teach, guide, and support clients in their journey towards improved mental health.

The REAL work comes from YOU!
