Frequently asked questions
Counseling
50 minutes
Many counselors specialize in various areas, but handle a plethora of other concerns. If your concerns were not listed, and you think I might be a good fit for you, sign up for a consultation call and we can discuss! When I have a clear picture of what you need, I’ll be able to determine if I can help.
Prepare to be yourself! The first session is all about going over forms and getting to know each other. Be prepared for me to do a lot of talking about the paperwork. I will also ask a LOT of questions so I can begin to paint a clear picture of your concerns. That’s why these are 90 minutes!
Not at all. I truly want to help everyone find their peace and I respect everyone’s spiritual practices or lack thereof. I disclose my faith because many Christians avoid counseling out of fear and I want to offer a space where they feel safe. I also understand that some individuals do not want a Christian therapist under any circumstance, and that’s okay! My brand of Christianity is supportive of the equality and rights of every marginalized and oppressed group.
Music Therapy
NO! Not at all! In music therapy, we use music as a tool for processing. It is not about how you sound or what you can do; the focus is on what we discover during the process.
If you like music, music therapy can help you. If you don’t like music, this is probably not the therapy for you. If you are looking for a different creative therapy, check out art therapy or dance/movement therapy.
Since I am also a counselor, I lead with a lot of talk therapy. If you’ve got nerves, we’ll talk it out first. We’ll quickly discover what activities you’re most comfortable with and start with those. Be prepared to engage and participate, that’s it!
