Each session is scheduled to begin and end at its appointed time. If you are late, please understand that your session will be shortened and end at the scheduled time. New client form must be completed before your first session begins. During your first session, you will be asked to provide a great deal of background information about yourself, describe your patterns and issues, discuss what if anything has worked for you in the past, and your current situation in detail. You will be asked to state your reasons for therapy and what you hope to get out of it.

At the conclusion of our first session, I will speak with you about my recommendations for your future. The first step towards change is the initial visit.  It is in that moment that I can motivate you into a healthier and more rewarding life style. It is crucial that you and I are fully aligned in our partnership.

This process creates trust and honesty as we progress towards your goals.  You will be expected to participate and try new forms of communication, right there,  at the first session.  I am often asked, “HOW do I begin therapy?”  My answer is simple, “First, you must be Honest, Open, and Willing to Change. This is H.O.W.”

If you are feeling tired, depressed, ill-tempered or anxious about parts of your life, you will probably benefit from therapy. If your fear, anxiety or addictions are interfering with your life, it is likely you need therapy. Other indicators include trouble sleeping or eating. If you have the desire to hurt yourself, or are engaging in some type of self-harm, you need therapy as soon as possible. Art Therapy same costs as regular therapy.

Research shows that it is not the theoretical orientation of the therapist that matters as much as the warmth and the quality of the patient-therapist relationship in terms of patient and therapy outcome. Your best bet is to find a therapist you like, and can personally relate to and find a connection with. I tend to draw from a variety of types of therapy in my practice, depending on the patient and their needs, including art therapy and psychoanalytic therapy modalities.

The chronic use of chemical substances in which the individual has developed a tolerance (when an individual needs more of the substance to get the same effect) and experiences withdrawal symptoms (physical symptoms manifested by the body needing the substance to feel normal again). A chemically dependent person is unable to stop drinking or taking a particular mood-altering chemical despite serious health, economic, legal, spiritual, vocational and social consequences.
The term “Chemical Dependency” is often used interchangeably with the terms: chemically dependent, chemical dependence, alcoholism, addiction, substance abuse, substance dependence, drug habit, and drug addiction.

I love talking with people and being able to help improve their lives, take them to the next level. I help them get the most out of life. People let you into their hearts and minds, and what you find there is always touching and fascinating.
