CONSIDERATIONS

Am I the right counselor for you?

Please read the following information to help determine if working together would be supportive for you at this time.

I could be the right therapist for you if:

  • You are an adult over 18 who is ready to commit to the process of therapy and gain insight into who you are, what you love, ways you’ve been wounded, and explore pathways for healing.

  • You are interested in more than traditional talk therapy and feel comfortable engaging in experiential work that is immersive, creative, and hands on.

  • You long to feel connected to something greater and want to dedicate time exploring things like your spirituality, purpose in life, and make meaning of your experiences.

  • You are motivated by self-reflection and curious to understand the various parts of who you are.

  • You thrive in situations that allow for freedom of choice, creativity, and adaptibility.

  • You are an artist/creative struggling with self-worth, fear of failure, creative block, and work-life balance.

  • You are neurodivergent and need a therapist with this lived experience who understands the challenges you face, will affirm and believe you, and can connect you to resources.

I am NOT the right therapist for you if:

  • You are not physically located in the state of Arizona.

  • You prefer to use insurance to pay for services ( I am self-pay only at this time).

  • You are seeking couples or family therapy or therapy for your child under 18.

  • You are seeking a psychiatric evaluation and/or a prescription for medication

  • You are in an active crisis and are a danger to yourself or others (suicidality, severe substance misuse, severe disordered eating, experiencing delusions or hearing voices).

    *If this is the case, I can provide you with information to to access a higher level of care than I can provide

  • It is a priority for you to work with a directive therapist, have structured sessions that follow a linear format, and are uncomfortable with work that can at times feel abstract, emotionally-focused, and open ended.

  • You are not motivated by self-reflection and don’t see value in self-exploration.

Therapy is not one size fits all.

My approach might not be right for you at this time.

…and that’s okay!

I’m not for everyone and no individual therapist is.

I will be transparent about whether I think my counseling approach can help you.

If you need someone who can help you understand what therapy even is, I can help you find a way forward.

But Let’s Talk First.

During the intro call, we can assess our compatibility.

Often times, this is enough to determine if it is a good fit - or if you need something different.

Keep in mind that it could take a number of sessions to evaluate where your therapeutic process is headed, and if I am the right therapist to join you.

This is something we would both need to assess and be honest about for the best outcome.

If it is determined you would benefit from a form of therapy I do not provide, please know I will communicate this to you right away and connect you with referrals so you can make the best possible decision for yourself.

I know how overwhelming this process can be.

Please know I sincerely enjoy helping people find the right therapist and approach that suits their needs.

Regardless of whether or not we end up working together, I am happy to field any questions you might have about finding good care. I can promise you it is out there.

CURIOUS?

I offer a complimentary 15-20 min consultation to see if I could be the right therapist for you.
