In counseling, we seek to improve your current issues and identify the cause so we can develop beneficial living and thinking skills. Everyone has a different story and a different need.

You are the expert of you and do not need to be in counseling longer than you desire.

If you are contemplating leaving counseling, just let me know. We will use the last session to summarize and celebrate your successes.

If you need to reschedule a session, please give me 24 hours’ notice so I can adjust my schedule. If it is a medical emergency, it is understandable that you cannot give notice. If you choose to cancel at the last minute because of an inconvenience in your schedule, I’ll understand, but in that instance, I will ask for payment.

Please show up on time. This time together is sacred and should be respected accordingly.

I encourage you to be as open and upfront as possible. The more you talk about the things that bother you, the more progress you will make.
