FAQs:
+ Do I need a consultation?
The free initial consultation is NOT a requirement, it's an option & your opportunity to ask me any burning questions you may have before starting therapy & to see if we're a good fit to work together.
+ What do sessions look like?
Our sessions will be geared towards your therapy hopes of gaining a better understanding of your emotions & relationship patterns and through that understanding together we'll start to change your relationship with your emotions & patterns. With that said, we'll be making room for you to feel your emotions, which can be uncomfortable at times, but it'll never be unsafe.

Yes, all sessions are kept completely confidential, except where required by law.
+ How often should I attend therapy?
As research supports the importance of attending consistent therapy sessions, I recommend weekly or biweekly appointments to allow us to build trust and safety.
