Okay, of course I would probably *love* to work with you to find a sense of peace, meaning, and clarity in your life. BUT, I'm not going to be the best option for everyone. I think it's nice to be able to make an informed decision, especially before diving into investing time, energy, and money into therapy. So, here are some practical reasons why you may not want to work with me (but I hope you do).
There's a bit of tech involved. You will need a strong stable internet connection, a good device with good lighting, and the ability to download, save, and upload documents onto your patient portal. For those who are visually impaired, or for whom video calls may not be the most appropriate, I do offer phone sessions without camera and have found they can be extremely effective in those circumstances.
Appointments are in the morning (4-9 AM Mountain Time). This availability is because I'm in a different time zone and it allows me to offer a unique slot of hours for scheduling for those who might not be able to schedule during common work hours or those who just prefer to do their therapy in the morning. Many people have tried it and say they prefer it, but it's of course not for everyone.
You'll likely have to do some work outside of sessions to get better. Most people won't feel better without putting effort into trying the techniques, which includes some between-session action. This typically consists of some writing (even jotting down bullet point notes) and thinking about techniques discussed in session as well as sometimes behavioral experiments we create during session. We will always make sure it's a doable assignment and something we both agree on beforehand. Most people find powerful change comes from these between-session action items, so it's a no-brainer if we want therapy to be as quick and effective as possible. I have also worked with people who have learning disorders, ADHD, and physical limitations that require these methods to be modified, and of course, we will consider your unique situation to make sure these assignments are 100% doable.
