When you come to your first session, we will discuss your symptoms and the areas you are concerned about in your life. We might explore a little bit of your background history if it applies. We will begin to build your therapeutic goals, and I'll guide you through how the therapy process generally works. We will be sure to leave some time for your questions. Anxiety and trepidation is normal during your first appointment, but I will work with you to have a renewed sense of hope when you leave.

When we begin the heavy lifting, depending on your situation, I may focus on the following:

• Overall health including diet, sleep, exercise and other health affirming habits
• Patterns of thinking to help reduce stress and improve your problem solving skills
• Outlining the choices in front of you that empower you to take control of your life
• Mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing and relaxation
• Learning how to identify your feelings and develop better coping skills
• Identifying stressors that get you most overhwelmed so we can get ahead of them
• Exploring values, goals and meaning in life to help you get unstuck
• Decreasing your inner critic and boosting your self-esteem
• Practicing healthy boundaries and saying no

I am generally in the office for sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Right now I am offering daytime appointments. I charge $140 per 50-minute session. I am currently not on any insurance panels so this will be an out-of-pocket and out-of-network investment. I am happy to provide an invoice if you would like to pursue a partial reimbursement from your health care company.
