How do I know if I need counseling?
Counseling can help with a wide range of struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or major life changes. If you’re finding it hard to cope with your emotions or manage daily tasks, counseling may be a good fit.
What can I expect in a counseling session?
Sessions are a safe, confidential space where you can talk through what’s going on in your life. I listen closely, offer support and guidance, and help you build practical strategies for coping and moving forward.
How long does therapy take?
This depends on your goals and what you’re working through. Some clients benefit from shorter-term, focused counseling, while others prefer ongoing support for more complex or long-standing concerns. We’ll figure out the right approach together.
Is counseling confidential?
Yes. What you share in session stays between us, with a few exceptions required by law, which I’ll walk you through in your consent forms before our first session.
