What types of Therapy do you offer? 

At Connection Therapy & Wellness, I offer therapy for children, teens, and adults, with services tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. My approach includes a variety of evidence-based practices, including mindfulness, which can support clients in managing stress, building resilience, and fostering self-awareness.

To make therapy as accessible as possible, I offer both in-person sessions at my office and convenient virtual sessions, allowing you to choose the format that best fits your life. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or a loved one, I’m here to help guide you on your path to wellness.

How Do I know if Therapy is right for me? 

Therapy can be helpful for anyone in need of support handling life's challenges, improving relationships, or a desire to focus on personal growth. You might consider therapy if you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck in certain areas of your life. Perhaps you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or you want to explore past experiences that may still impact you. It's not just for times of crisis; therapy can help you develop new skills, improve relationships, and find greater peace and balance in everyday life. 

If you're curious about whether therapy might be a good fit, consider these questions: 

• Are you feeling stressed, anxious, or down more often than not?
• Do you want to improve your relationships, understand past experiences, or break patterns that no longer serve you?
• Are you looking for tools to manage your emotions or make changes in your life but don't know where to start?

​At Connection Therapy & Wellness, I use a compassionate and personalized approach to help you explore your feelings, identify goals, and develop the skills to create lasting change. Whether you're facing a specific issue or seeking personal growth, therapy can provide a safe space to support your journey. 

If any of this resonates with you, therapy could be a positive next step. I'd be happy to talk with you to answer any questions and help you decide if this process feels right for you. 

How do i get Started? 

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m here to make it as smooth and supportive as possible. Here’s what you can expect in getting started at Connection Therapy & Wellness:

1. Reach Out – You can contact me through phone or email to schedule a consultation or to ask any questions you might have. This first conversation is a great way to share a bit about what brings you to therapy and see if I’m a good fit for your needs.
2. Initial Consultation – We’ll set up a time for an initial session where we can talk more in-depth about your goals, challenges, and hopes for therapy. I’ll also explain the therapy process, answer any questions, and discuss how I work with clients to help them achieve their goals.
3. Starting Your Journey – If you feel comfortable moving forward, we’ll schedule ongoing sessions at a pace that works best for you. I’ll work closely with you to create a supportive space where you can grow, heal, and develop the skills you need to feel more fulfilled.

Taking the first step toward therapy is a powerful choice, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to begin, or just want to learn more, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can connect through the contact form, email or phone and we can schedule an initial consultation to discuss your needs and schedule your first session. ​

What can i expect during my first session?

Your first session at Connection Therapy & Wellness is all about getting to know you and creating a safe, welcoming space to begin our work together. In this initial meeting, we’ll explore your reasons for coming to therapy, your hopes, and any specific goals or challenges you want to address.
Here’s what you can generally expect:

• A Relaxed Conversation – We’ll spend time talking about what’s brought you to therapy, your background, and any important areas you’d like to focus on. I’ll ask some questions to get to know you better, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with.
  
• Learning About the Process – I’ll explain how therapy works, my approach to supporting clients, and answer any questions you may have. This is a time for you to understand what to expect and feel confident in moving forward.
• Setting the Foundation for Your Journey – We’ll discuss potential goals for therapy and create a plan that aligns with your needs and preferences. This initial session helps build a foundation so we can move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but this first session is just the beginning of a supportive, collaborative journey. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and understood, so you leave with a sense of hope and clarity about the path ahead.  ​

How long does therapy usually last?

The time in therapy varies quite a bit based on the needs of the individual client's needs and goals. Some clients are able to benefit from a few session, while others may need to continue in therapy long-term. We'll continue to assess your needs and determine if we need to adjust the number of sessions and the approach as needed. ​

Is therapy confidential? 

Yes, therapy is confidential. At Connection Therapy & Wellness, your privacy and trust are my top priorities. What you share in our sessions is kept confidential, meaning it won’t be shared with anyone without your consent. Confidentiality is an essential part of therapy and is also protected by HIPPA laws. It allows us to build a safe, trusting space where you feel free to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
There are a few rare exceptions to this rule, which are in place to protect your safety and the safety of others. These exceptions include situations where:

• There is a serious risk of harm to yourself or others.
• There is suspected abuse or neglect involving a child, elder, or vulnerable adult.
• A court orders the release of specific information.

In any of these situations, I am required by law to take appropriate action. I will always discuss confidentiality with you in our first session and answer any questions you may have. My commitment is to maintain a secure, respectful, and private environment for all clients.

Do you accept insurance?

At Connection Therapy & Wellness, I am in-network with certain insurance providers, which may help reduce your out-of-pocket costs. For clients with other insurance plans, I am considered an out-of-network provider. If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, you may still be eligible for partial reimbursement, and I can provide a superbill to assist with this process.

Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about your specific insurance coverage. I’m here to help make therapy as accessible as possible and would be happy to guide you in navigating your options.

what if i need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

At Connection Therapy & Wellness, I strive to provide dedicated time and care to each client. To maintain this commitment, I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Late cancellations or missed appointments without notice will incur a fee, as this time has been set aside specifically for you.
​
I understand that unexpected situations arise, so please reach out if you have any concerns. My goal is to work together to ensure consistent support and respect for everyone's time and therapeutic journey.

how do i get help if my child or I are experiencing a crisis? 

If you or your child are experiencing a crisis, it’s important to reach out for immediate support. For those in need of urgent help, the 988 Lifeline offers 24/7 access to trained crisis counselors who can provide immediate assistance, resources, and guidance. This service is available for individuals of all ages and can be a crucial first step during difficult moments.
If you or your loved one are in immediate danger or experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please contact 911 right away for urgent assistance.
While I’m here to provide ongoing therapeutic support, these resources are important for those times when immediate intervention is needed. If you have questions or need additional support, please don't hesitate to reach out.
