Therapy begins with a 75 min intake session. From there, I ask that you commit to weekly sessions for the first 5 weeks. This gives you the best chance to begin seeing results.
Many of my clients reach their goals within 3-9 months. Others benefit from ongoing support and we work together longer.
I offer regular 55 min sessions, 85 min extended therapy sessions, and in-person intensives to personalize my services to what you need.
Psychedelic assisted therapy has a unique time structure and time commitments will vary depending on your individualized treatment plan.
-
There are benefits to starting therapy before a crisis, during a trauma, while or after losing a loved one, and/or after something overwhelming.
Sometimes, starting therapy when "things are fine" can give you an advantage when life inevitably becomes stressful.
Of course, starting therapy during or after an overwhelming event can give you the space and tools to navigate a really hard time.
Give me a call and we can talk about your situation and how therapy can help.
-
I use “therapy,” “counseling,” and “psychotherapy” interchangeably.
I think most people in this field do the same :)

Privacy and flexibility are really important to me. Insurance companies can restrict and intrude on the therapy process.
Investing in yourself financially increases the likelihood of achieving your desired results.
As an LCSW (social worker), I am committed to equity and social justice. I dedicate my time to non-profit and pro bono therapy work with Kindred Heart Therapy Group in California and The Refugee Development Center in Michigan. I also volunteer weekly with the Routt County Humane Society.

Yes, online therapy is both secure and effective. I use HIPAA compliant systems and our video sessions are protected. All therapy interventions that we will use are effective online.
