what is psychotherapy?

The primary purpose of therapy is to facilitate your personal growth. This occurs when you begin to acknowledge your freedom to change, accept the responsibility to make those changes, and then take action.

Therapy is a process by which you can make positive life changes. The word “process" is defined as 'a natural phenomenon marked by gradual changes that lead toward a particular result, e.g., the process of growth.' The takeaway is that major changes take time. These significant changes are an accumulation of smaller changes directed at the desired result.

I won't promise "quick fixes" and do believe the time is more than worth it.

how do I get started?

The fastest way to get started is to send me an email letting me know you're ready to see if we'll be a good fit for your needs, whether you are reaching out for yourself or someone else, and the best way for me to connect with you to map out next steps. 

If you prefer, you can also leave me a voicemail or send a brief text with your information to (512) 710-7049.

I look forward to connecting with you!

what will our first session be like?

You might notice yourself feeling anxious or uncertain before our first session. Reaching out for support can be a vulnerable experience and you aren't alone in feeling this way. 

Before the first session, you will fill out the paperwork sent to you via my secure client portal.

When you arrive for your appointment, you'll make yourself comfortable in my lobby. I will come to greet you at the time of our session, and we'll walk back to my office together.

Once you're settled, we'll briefly review your paperwork and talk in more detail about what's leading you to reach out for support at this time. It's my job to listen to your unique situation and goals and help you decide what the therapy process will look like for you. You'll also have time to ask any questions you may have and get a sense of how we'll fit in our work together before moving forward.
