About Therapy

Your personal workshop

Our lives are complex, with many interconnected pieces. When those pieces aren’t fitting together, life doesn’t feel good. Therapy provides a safe “workshop” to acquire and learn how to use new tools to fit pieces together.

The more tools you have in your toolbox, the better equipped you are for repairs and maintenance of the many areas of your life.

Therapy is about discovery.

It is a unique journey that allows you to explore the many facets of your life in a safe, understanding, and respectful space.

Sometimes self-discovery is uncomfortable. And sometimes, it is intriguing. You will learn to identify the patterns that land you in painful places and design new patterns that move you toward living the life you desire.

Surviving or thriving?

Too many times, you feel as though you are just surviving. It’s hard just getting through another day while trying to do the things you need to do.

What happened to the fun? Didn’t life used to be fun, at least some of the time?

Now, it’s just struggle, struggle, struggle. It’s just too much. There’s no energy left for fun.

Life is not supposed to just be survived; it’s supposed to be lived!

Let’s explore your hopes, desires, and dreams. Let’s come up with a plan and strategy to bring those back to life.

Let’s move you from surviving to thriving!

The Process

First, we will connect on the phone for a free 20-minute consultation. During that time, I will ask you some questions to learn more about your situation. You also will have an opportunity to ask questions of me. Through our discussion, we will determine if working together is the best fit to meet your needs.

If yes, then we will schedule our first appointment for online teletherapy. If we decide you would benefit more from other resources, then I will provide helpful referrals.

Once we have an appointment scheduled, I will send you an email with a link for filling out forms on the HIPAA-secure platform (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that I use on the Internet to ensure confidentiality of your PHI (Protected Health Information). You can fill out the forms and sign right there on the platform. No need to print out, sign, scan, and send back. Easy and simple.

You will receive an email with the link to our online teletherapy session. You just click on that link at the time of our session, and we will meet via the secure video platform. No need to remember a user ID and password to login. Again, easy and simple.

Online teletherapy allows you to be in the comfort, safety, and familiarity of your own home to discuss sensitive issues. I will be in my private office for our online sessions.

During our first few sessions, we will spend time exploring more about the current situation you are seeking therapy for and some of the contributing factors. We will identify what’s important to you, where you want to be, and how you want to live. With those values in mind, we will create goals and plans for getting you there.
