What happens in therapy?
Therapy is a confidential, collaborative process where we explore the patterns, experiences, and emotions shaping your current life. Sessions often include reflection, practical tools, and compassionate challenge to help you heal, grow, and move toward the life you want to live.
How is therapy different from coaching?
Therapy focuses on healing—processing pain, trauma, and emotional distress that may be rooted in the past. Coaching focuses on growth—clarifying goals and creating strategies for the future.
Therapy is a clinical service provided by a licensed professional and may involve mental health diagnoses; coaching is not clinical and does not.
What can therapy help with?
Therapy can support you through a wide range of challenges, including: Relationship or sexual difficulties, Postpartum transitions and matrescence, Anxiety, depression, or burnout, Faith transitions and spiritual struggles, Grief, loss, or trauma recovery, Identity development, boundaries, and self-worth
Do you integrate faith into sessions?
Yes—if you want it to be part of your process. Many clients find comfort in integrating their Christian faith into therapy, while others prefer a more secular or spiritual approach. You always set the tone for how much (or how little) faith is included.
How long does therapy take?
Every person’s journey is unique. Some clients find a few months of therapy helpful for specific goals, while others choose to engage long-term for deeper work. We’ll regularly review your progress and make sure therapy continues to serve your needs and season.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. Sessions can be offered securely online, allowing you to meet from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Do you take insurance?
