Although my degree is in Marriage and Family Therapy, my expertise and experience is not just limited to marriages and families - I work with individuals and teenagers as well. However, I view all my clients through the context of their relationships and communities.

The duration of therapy can vary significantly, depending on the nature of your challenges. If you're facing a sudden and unexpected crisis, you might find the support you need in a relatively short period, typically around 4-6 weeks. However, if your therapy goals involve addressing issues that have been part of your life for many years, it's likely that you'll need at least 3 months to start observing meaningful progress. Some clients opt for long-term therapy, which can extend up to 1-2 years, depending on their specific needs, circumstances, and goals. The length of your therapy journey will be an ongoing topic of discussion between you and your therapist throughout the treatment process.

You are welcome to pause or end sessions as you see fit. My ultimate goal for clients is for them to “graduate” from therapy when they feel they are doing a lot better and feel capable of handling challenges on their own.
