My Services
I offer psychotherapy, trainings and workshops, and consultation.
Psychotherapy
Types:
Individual therapy (for teens and adults)
I encourage all clients to at least start with weekly sessions to enable us to establish rapport and get good momentum. We can always evaluate if the frequency of sessions needs to be changed.
Relational counseling: couples, polyamorous relationships, family units
Relational is most effective when done on a weekly basis. Since the work consists of changing relationship dynamics, it is important to prioritize at least an hour a week for a therapy session to forge new interactional patterns.
Therapy also entails the work you put into your relationship between sessions. It is expected that you will practice applying new ways of interacting when you are outside of session. You can get greater benefits and accelerate your growth with the more effort you invest.
