Personalized Plans: What to Expect

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all — it works best when it’s shaped around you. Here’s how we’ll work together:

Building Trust & Understanding

From our very first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and create a safe, supportive space. Building this trusting relationship is the foundation for everything we’ll do together.

Assessment & Clarity
We’ll explore your history, what brought you to therapy, clarify your challenges, and identify what you hope to achieve.

Goal-Setting
Together, we’ll establish what progress looks like for you — whether that’s feeling less anxious, improving relationships, or adjusting to a major life change.

Creating Your Plan
I’ll design a therapy plan tailored to you, drawing from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and Reality Therapy, and, if desired, integrating faith-based or integrative medicine strategies.

Active Therapy & Growth
We’ll meet regularly to put your plan into action — practicing new skills, exploring insights, and making adjustments as needed to support lasting change and help you move forward confidently toward your goals.
