Online Video Sessions, Phone Sessions, & Messaging
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Sessions are provided via teletherapy in the comfort of your home or private space (office, car, etc). If you’ve used Zoom, Facetime, or similar apps, you’re familiar with the idea of video sessions. I use secure video software to help ensure your session and information is confidential.
Clients often comment on the ease of these sessions, the convenience, and therapeutic results. Video sessions eliminate commute time and the need for a babysitter, scheduling dilemmas, or extra time off work. They can take place during lunch, between appointments during the day, or while children are sleeping.
Video sessions are not for everyone. Mental health needs or personal preferences may require a different type of service. Each potential client completes a 15 minute complimentary consultation to ensure video sessions are an appropriate fit for their therapeutic needs.
COUPLES THERAPY
Many couples have difficulties with communication. In couples therapy, I will assist you in identifying the lapses in communication and working on more effective ways of expressing feelings and managing conflict.
COACHING
Coaching services are available if you seek answers to specific problems. Often, coaching can be a short-term or long-term management dependent on individual goals.
YOUR RESTORATIVE PATH
Your journey begins with a 15 minute complimentary video session. This is a relaxed time to meet and discuss your needs and questions. It gives us the opportunity to evaluate if online sessions together are a good fit for you.
Our first 50 minute session is a time for you to share your story in depth. We’ll assess your current struggles or hurts so that we can best develop a custom plan for your path.
Together, we’ll design a custom plan to meet your needs. We usually begin with 8-10 weekly sessions, after which we re-evaluate according to your individual needs.
As we work together, meet your goals, and equip you, we will discuss the best way to conclude your journey. I am here to help you find hope and thrive.
