You are either reading this because you are thinking of beginning therapy or your parent/guardian/ trusted support person sent you this link with the hopes they can get you to start therapy.

​

Well let’s begin with a few simple questions:

• What is your understanding of therapy?

• What do you want to get out of therapy?

• What are some fears you have about therapy?

​

Some concerns you may have is that I will tell your guardian what you shared in your therapy session, that therapy is going to be boring, or that therapy might not even work.

​

Truth is, therapy is what you make of it. The results of therapy are based on your level of motivation, honesty, transparency, commitment, consistency, and effort.

​

Navigating your childhood and adolescent years can be very difficult. I strongly believe counseling is the most effective and rewarding choice towards finding a healthy solution. As your therapist, my goal is to ensure you feel safe, emotionally supported, and heard. You can accomplish anything with the assistance of a positive therapeutic relationship that is individualized to serve your needs and pace.
