Therapy is a good fit if you’re feeling stressed, stuck, or just not like yourself lately. You don’t need a “big problem” to reach out. Many people come to get support, understand their emotions, and feel more grounded. If you’re unsure, that’s okay. One session is often enough to see if it feels like the right space for you.
-
Yes! Absolutely. Therapy gives you tools to calm your mind, understand what triggers your stress, and break the cycle of constant overthinking. You’ll learn how to manage anxiety in the moment and build long-term habits that help you feel more in control, grounded, and clear. Most people start feeling relief within the first few sessions.
-
It’s completely normal to wonder about that. Therapy isn’t “one-size-fits-all,” and sometimes it takes a bit of time to find the right approach or the right therapist. If something isn’t helping, we’ll talk about it openly and adjust together, different strategies, different pacing, or a new direction. The goal is for you to feel supported, not stuck. And if we’re not the right fit, we’ll help you find someone who is. You won’t be left on your own.
-
Everyone moves at their own pace, but most people start noticing shifts within the first few weeks. Therapy isn’t about rushing, it’s about giving yourself space to understand what’s going on and build real change. We’ll check in regularly and go at a pace that feels right for you.
-
Online therapy works just like in-person sessions, but we meet over a secure video platform from wherever you’re comfortable. You’ll get a link before each session, click to join, and we talk in real time just like we would in an office. It’s private, flexible, and makes it easier to fit therapy into your life without commuting or stress.
-
Therapy helps you understand your emotions, patterns, and past experiences so you can heal and grow. Coaching focuses more on goals and motivation. Think of therapy as deeper, more reflective work, and coaching as motivation or goal focused support. Both can be helpful, but therapy is designed to address mental health, relationships, and the “why” behind what you’re feeling.
-
Yes, we work with couples. We help partners communicate better, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and reconnect in a real, meaningful way. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or just feel a little disconnected, we give you both a safe space to slow down, talk openly, and learn tools that strengthen your relationship. Couples at any stage are welcome.
-
We take a grounded, collaborative approach. We blend evidence-based methods like CBT, Client-Centered, and Gottman techniques with a warm, real-life style that’s easy to connect with. Therapy isn’t about lecturing, it’s about understanding what you’re going through and working together on tools that actually help you feel better in your day-to-day life.
-
Weekly therapy is where you’ll see the most real, steady progress. Think of it like going to the gym for your mind, growth happens when you show up consistently, not once in a while.
You build momentum.
When sessions are too spread out, you lose the flow. Weekly sessions help you stay grounded and moving forward.
We work through things in real time.
Instead of spending half the session catching up, we can dive deeper and actually work on the stuff that matters.
It gives you stability.
Life gets messy. Having a weekly check-in gives you a steady place to process before things pile up.
You build skills faster.
Whether it’s communication, coping tools, or breaking old patterns, weekly sessions help you practice and adjust with support.
Breakthroughs come sooner.
When you’re consistently showing up for yourself, things shift more quickly and the work feels more natural.
Therapy works best when it becomes a rhythm a space you return to each week to grow, reset, and check in with yourself.
