FAQs

I’ve always handled things on my own. Does going to therapy mean I’m weak? 

Not at all. Many thoughtful, capable people come to therapy. Reaching out isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s often a sign of self-awareness. Therapy offers space to reflect, build on your strengths, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

How is therapy different from talking to a friend or family member? 

Friends offer care and support. Therapy provides a confidential, structured space focused entirely on you. I bring professional training to help you gain perspective, learn practical skills, and notice patterns that may be difficult to see on your own.

What about medication?

Medication can sometimes be helpful and may work best alongside therapy. While medication can reduce symptoms, therapy helps address underlying patterns and build lasting coping tools.

What happens in sessions?

Therapy is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Together we’ll clarify your goals and work at a pace that feels right for you — whether that includes learning new skills, processing experiences, or navigating current challenges.

How long does therapy take?

There isn’t a single answer. Some people seek short-term support, while others benefit from longer-term work. The length of therapy depends on your goals and what feels most helpful to you.

Considering Therapy?
