What to Expect

• I provide telehealth sessions for those comfortable using an online therapy platform. These sessions are conducted using a HIPAA-compliant system for security and confidentiality.
• Our sessions are casual, as if you were sitting in your living room, in comfy clothes, having coffee or tea with a close friend.
• ​I provide brief, solution focused therapy. This means we will do a thorough assessment in the first 1-4 sessions to include targeted testing in areas of concern. This will allow me to help you develop a comprehensive, custom treatment plan for your specific needs. 

Because I believe it’s important to give clients control over their treatment process, I will generally spend 1 – 2 sessions discussing how the brain works, and assessing how your brain is currently functioning. Then we spend 1-2 sessions discussing the tools and resources you need to be in control of your brain's ability to process information. Then we enter into the treatment phase where we start tackling each goal of the treatment plan. The number of goals you want to tackle determines how long you are in therapy. Most of my clients are in counseling weekly for 3 months to 1 year. Clients choose their own discharge date once they have met all their goals. I encourage clients to have a graduation session and celebrate the accomplishments they have made during their counseling journey.
