The Process

1 - Connect

The first few sessions will be spent with me getting to know you by asking you about your life so far and really listening, so you feel understood and known and I can get a thorough understanding of who you are and what you’re looking for. 

2 - Roadmap

From there, I’ll draft a plan and invite your input. That will act as our roadmap. I will be totally respectful of your pace and needs and we can be flexible as new things come up.

3 - Growth

We then start working together as a team on accomplishing the roadmap. Along the way, I’ll give you ideas and different perspectives, tools, techniques and strategies. 

4 - Next steps

When you’ve achieved your goals, you can either set new ones and carry on or do less frequent check-in sessions. Or, you might decide to close the door to therapy for a while and open it again in the future if you want or need to. Could you and I work well together?

My Ideal Clients

Here are some thoughts about the clients I work best with and who tend to get the most out of coming to see me:

You could be my ideal client if you . . .

. . . appreciate input, suggestions, new ideas, different perspectives, tools, strategies and humor/fun.

. . . value therapy and the collaborative process that takes place.

. . . understand that if you truly want change, it will be up to you to bring the insights from therapy into your daily life. If you are receptive and open to trying new things you will get the best results. Being thoughtful and making an effort pay off.

. . . agree to take responsibility for your part in the process by making therapy a priority, being on time, letting me know in advance if you can’t make it and being open and honest.
