What to expect from individual therapy:
In individual therapy, you and I will work together to begin your healing journey. Each individual therapy session is 45 minutes. In our first few sessions, I will get to know you and what brings you to therapy. Together, we will develop therapeutic intentions and in each session, we will work towards understanding and fulfilling these intentions. In session, you and what you need are the focus of our time together.
In-between sessions, I encourage deepening the work that we do together through the use of supplemental tools, resources and exercises such as:
Writing guided journaling prompts
Engaging in breathing exercises
Watching videos or listening to podcasts
Reading blog articles
Recommending books and audiobooks
Accessing community resources and support
