What if I've tried therapy before and it didn't help?

Every therapeutic relationship is unique. Past experiences don’t define your potential for growth. Together, we’ll explore what didn’t work before and create a new, personalized approach that aligns with your needs and comfort.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy is for anyone who wants support navigating life’s challenges, whether you’re experiencing emotional distress, relationship struggles or simply want to grow personally. If you feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed or curious about understanding yourself more deeply, therapy can provide a space to explore
these experiences and develop coping tools.

What can I expect during my first therapy session?

Your first session is an opportunity to get to know each other and to share what brings you to therapy. We’ll discuss your goals, concerns and any current challenges in a safe and supportive space. Think of it as a conversation where your experiences are heard without judgment, and together we’ll begin to explore how therapy can support your growth and healing.

How do I prepare for my first session?

You don’t need to prepare anything, just bring your thoughts, questions and willingness to share. It may help to jot down what’s on your mind or what you hope to gain from therapy, but there’s no “right” way to start.

How often should I come to therapy?

Frequency depends on your needs and goals. I recommend clients start with weekly sessions, which allow for consistent support and reflection. As progress is made, sessions may remain weekly or become biweekly or monthly. We’ll discuss a schedule that feels manageable and supportive.

What will Therapy look like in a typical session?

Therapy sessions can take many forms depending on what you need that day. Sometimes, we spend time reflecting on your week, relationships or recurring themes in your life. Other sessions may be more focused
and structured, addressing specific challenges. We might also explore how early attachment experiences or past trauma continue to shape your present patterns and beliefs. Throughout these sessions, we will work collaboratively and I will support you in developing greater self-compassion and provide a safe space for growth and understanding.

What happens if I feel uncomfortable during therapy?

Feeling uncomfortable is normal and it can sometimes be part of the healing process. You are always encouraged to share your feelings during sessions. Therapy is collaborative and your comfort and safety guide how we proceed.

How long does therapy usually take?

Every journey is unique. Some clients notice meaningful changes within a few months, while others engage in longer-term work. We’ll tailor the pace to your needs, focusing on creating sustainable growth while respecting your comfort and readiness.
