A mental healthcare provider who works with you to meet your needs.
My approach to therapy is derived from my perspective that:
Therapy is about holding up a mirror so that you’re able to see where you are and envision where you want to be.
Therapy is about clarity and understanding you can lean on the strength of Christ for true and lasting change.
FAQs
What is expected of me in therapy?
Your decision to participate in therapy is your own. You’ve decided you’re worth investing in. It’s brave and maybe a little scary. I want to be transparent about my expectations. I expect you to be who you are, where you are in the moment. This time is yours, dedicated to providing space for you to move beyond surviving or existing. It’s time for you to heal and live life.
What is it like to work with you?
Fun, intense, sad, calming. Therapy is not meant to be one noted. You’ll move, stand, dance, laugh, cry, try things, become frustrated, and appreciate your overcoming. I’ll ask you to evaluate experiences, process thoughts you’ve not wanted to say outload, look at yourself in the mirror and imagine who you want looking back. Honesty, faith, transparency, compassion and authenticity. The focus is meeting you where you are and challenging you to stretch and reach for the healed and whole person you want to be. We’ll check-in, you’ll have homework, I’ll hold you accountable to trying new skills and being compassionate with yourself as you learn.
How do we maintain confidentiality virtually?
I use HIPAA-compliant telehealth software. If we decide to work together, we will discuss in detail confidentiality compliance, mandatory reporting and safety laws.
What do I need for teletherapy?
An internet connection that is stable (preferably, with minimal to no dropping or interruptions), smart phone, tablet or computer with a camera or webcam capability. The device should have a microphone or capability to connect to headphones or microphone. A private space where you can participate in your session alone.
*Note: To participate in teletherapy with me, you must physically be in one of the states in which I am licensed to practice.
