People come to psychotherapy for many different reasons. You may be facing a specific difficulty, such as a relationship crisis, or a stressful life transition. At other times, the reason is less clear—you might feel depressed, unsettled, disconnected, or weighed down by a general sense that something is not quite right. Or you simply want to better understand yourself and experience personal growth.

Many people find therapy especially helpful when they begin before problems escalate, rather than waiting until things feel unmanageable. Even if there is no major issue, therapy can help you obtain better self-awareness, facilitate self improvement and assist you in achieving your life goals.

Feeling nervous or unsure at the start of therapy is very common. Many people feel this way when doing something new or personal. There is no expectation to know what to say or to have everything figured out. We will take things one step at a time without pressure or judgement.

A good therapeutic fit is about feeling comfortable, understood, and respected. It is also important that the therapist’s style and approach feel aligned with what you are looking for.

During the first few sessions, you can notice whether you feel heard, safe, and able to be yourself in the space. Finding the right fit can take time, and it is okay to trust your instincts. If at any point you feel uncertain, we can talk openly about it and explore what would best support you, including whether another therapist might be a better match.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and whether this feels right for you. We will discuss your current concerns, relevant background information, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We will talk about how therapy works, including confidentiality, boundaries, and practical details, and of course, you can ask any questions you may have

Sessions last 50 minutes.  Weekly sessions tend to work well for many people, especially at the beginning, as they help create a sense of continuity and connection. That said, we can always talk about what feels right for you and adjust along the way.

Therapy can be short-term or longer-term, depending on what you’re looking for and what feels helpful. Some people come in with a specific focus, while others prefer ongoing support. We’ll check in along the way and adjust as your needs evolve.

Admittedly, human interaction is often better face to face. However, for many people, online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy, and it can happen at the comfort of your own home. It offers the same level of care, confidentiality, and professional support, while providing greater flexibility and accessibility. What matters most is the quality of the therapeutic relationship and whether the format feels right to you.

Confidentiality is a core part of psychotherapy. What you share in sessions is kept private, with limited legal and ethical exceptions.
