I’m nervous about starting therapy. Is that normal?

It’s completely normal to feel nervous about starting therapy - especially if you’ve been carrying pain alone for a long time or have had past experiences where you didn’t feel truly seen or understood. Reaching out for help takes immense courage, and it’s okay if it feels a little scary at first. You’re stepping into something new, and that can bring up vulnerability - but it can also open the door to deep healing and lasting change.

How do I know if you are the right therapist for me?

Finding the right therapist is such an important part of your healing journey, and it’s completely okay to want to make sure we’re a good fit. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation - so you can get a feel for my approach, ask any questions you may have, and see how it feels to connect with me. During our consultation, there’s no pressure - just a chance for you to explore whether my style feels supportive and aligned with what you’re looking for. Your comfort and trust matter deeply, and I want you to feel empowered in choosing the right person to walk with you on your path to healing.

What if I don’t want to talk about something?

That’s completely okay. In our work together, you are always in control of what you choose to share and when. I will never push you to talk about something before you're ready. My approach honors your internal pace - if a part of you feels hesitant or protective, we can gently explore that with compassion, without forcing anything. Your safety, sense of agency, and emotional readiness are always respected in our sessions.

I'm scared that if I open up, you’ll think I’m crazy or too much.

I hear this fear often, and I want you to know: you are not too much, and you are absolutely not crazy. What you’re carrying makes sense in the context of what you’ve lived through. In therapy, we gently explore the parts of you that hold pain, fear, or shame - with deep compassion and zero judgment. My role is not to fix or label you, but to help you understand and care for the parts of you that have been trying so hard to cope. Every part of you is welcome here, exactly as you are.

Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential?

Yes - confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy, and everything you share with me stays private. I provide a safe, protected space where you can be open without fear of judgment or your information being shared. The only exceptions to confidentiality are rare and required by law - such as if there’s a concern about your safety or someone else’s. If those situations ever arise, I will do my best to talk with you about them first. Your trust is deeply important to me, and I take your privacy very seriously.

How long will therapy take?

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and the length of the journey is different for everyone. Some clients begin to feel relief and make meaningful changes after a few months, while others choose to work longer to explore deeper healing and growth. We move at the pace that feels right and safe for you - honoring both your goals and the needs of the parts of you that may need more time and care. You're never expected to rush your healing; instead, we work together to create lasting, meaningful change at a rhythm that supports your nervous system and your life.

Is online therapy effective?

While online therapy is not a good fit for everyone, it has been shown to be just as effective as in-person therapy. Please contact me or book a consultation to find out if online therapy is a good fit for you.

Do I need a computer for online therapy?

You can join video session with a smartphone using the Simple Practice app. All you need is a quiet, private place where you can feel comfortable. For EMDR therapy, you may need either a laptop or an android phone with headphones.

What is the format for couples therapy?

The first joint session for couples therapy is usually 80 minutes long, followed by a 50-minute session with each partner individually during the following week. Then, another joint 80-minute session is held, after which you can choose the length of sessions as you see fit. Please note that the Gottman Method recommends 80-minute sessions for best results.

What is the format for individual therapy?

Individuals are recommended to start with one 80-minute session, followed by 50-minute sessions thereafter. For EMDR therapy, sessions can range from 50 to 80 minutes depending on content.

What is the format for EMDR therapy?

EMDR can often take longer than 50 minutes, and it takes a few session of history taking and preparation before processing with eye movements begins. In cases of complex trauma, the preparation phase can take longer than a few sessions.

How should I prepare for my first session?

All you need to do is fill out paperwork as instructed during your consultation call. It is normal to experience anxiety before your first session, even if you’ve done therapy before. I promise to do my best to make you comfortable and create a safe atmosphere. I will never ask you to share details you are not prepared to share.

Where do I go after I get to your office?

Once you arrive at 80 Garden Center, please enter through the main entrance of the tall brown building with the white letter “A” on the front. You will see mailboxes on your right. After entering the building, turn right immediately and proceed into the waiting room. There is a check-in kiosk that will notify us that you have arrived. Your therapist will come out and take you to the office.

Alternatively, you can find Suite 42 in the basement and wait in the adjacent waiting room.
