Frequently asked questions

I have never been to therapy...what happens there?

In a safe space, we gently explore the issues you are experiencing that are interrupting your life at this time. You will discover a clear voice to express your opinions and hidden burdens.

IS THIS THERAPY ONLY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL?

Sessions are available for one-on-one, couples and family units.

HOW IS THERAPY DIFFERENT FROM TALKING WITH FRIENDS OR READING ABOUT THE PROBLEM?

In the work we do together, you can be honest with no judgmental responses. Your questions, concerns, and fears are considered and brought from confusion to clarity. Here you will be guided by a seasoned, knowledgeable, kind clinician who can support your unique needs in a very confidential setting.

HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS TAKE?

Short term counseling can assist with a specific issue while longer term therapy can offer an opportunity to affect lasting change for deeper wounds.

DOES THERAPY REALLY HELP...OR IS IT JUST TALKING?

My more than a quarter of a century experiences in the specific fields of grief, pre-bereavement and life transitions qualify me to provide my clients with an approach filled with educational, practical and proven strategies that lead to healing.
