What To Expect

Where To Start

1) Reach out to me at the “Contact” link above to schedule a 15-minute introductory phone call.

2) I will email you within 2-3 business days to schedule our call.

3) When we talk, I can answer any questions you have, and we will talk about what is prompting you to pursue therapy (your current concerns). If we decide to meet for therapy, we will also schedule your first session (plan for 90 minutes).

After we schedule, I will send a confirmation email along with a Client Consent, Client Information Form, and directions to my office.

Your First Session

At your first session, we will get to know each other and talk about your goals and desires for therapy.

We will also start healing work! With all of the approaches I use, you do not need to share your whole story, re-live any trauma, or even explain things to get healing. Your body, soul, and Jesus know how and where to find the roots of your current issues. You are free to share as much – or as little – as you are comfortable sharing. With just the basics, we can move right into healing in our first session together.

Moving Forward

If you choose to continue working with me, subsequent sessions are 60 minutes, and can be scheduled at the end of your session or on my Calendly link at your convenience.

We will create a plan using the approach (or a combination) that aligns with your particular concerns and desires. Read through the “What I Do” section, and we’ll work together to find the right fit for you.

I do approach therapy through a spiritual lens, and invite the Holy Spirit to guide all of my sessions with clients. Most often I begin our healing work with prayer, and invite Jesus to partner with us in our session. I am sensitive to my clients in this area, as many have had difficult church or spiritual experiences in their past - but healing is always enhanced when we invite God into our work together.

We Will Work Together!

I consider the therapy relationship collaborative. I put my whole self into our sessions, and ask you to engage fully as well. I always take into account the limitations intrinsic to mental health concerns, but will expect you to put effort into your healing both inside and outside of sessions to the best of your ability. Healing requires investment from both of us!

In addition, I will check in every few sessions to assess the progress you are making. If we are both investing in the work, I expect my clients to see changes. If we are not seeing results, we’ll talk about why that might be and adjust accordingly - and make sure this is the right healing space for you!
