The heart of counseling is taking a journey into your inner world with someone by your side. Someone who makes you feel safe, heard, and accepted. I will always start with where you are and where you want to go.
My approach is to help you find meaning in your struggle and figure out how it can be turned into a strength. We will explore the habits, patterns, and beliefs that aren’t working and then work to develop new ones.
Throughout our sessions, I will support you. I will challenge you when it’s needed and I will help you navigate your growth and any setbacks. My effort will be focused on getting you to the destination you are aiming for.

Sometimes, the benefits of therapy may seem vague. Today, we want to share with you five qualities that we believe every therapist should have so you can better understand how therapy is designed to help you. In therapy sessions, our aim is to support and guide you using these qualities.
Genuine Empathy
A therapist should be able to empathize with you effectively and make you feel heard and understood.
Nuanced Perspective
A therapist should provide perspective that you either did not have or that you should consider putting more weight on.
Empowering Education
A therapist should be able to educate you in subjects that you were not aware of.
Effective Tools
A therapist should be able to help you develop approaches to use in difficult situations. They should also help you feel confident that you can employ these tools when needed.
Mindful Awareness
A therapist should be able to guide you towards improving your awareness. That awareness should help you to make better decisions when you are facing a challenge.
The wellness team here at Breakthrough Solutions makes an effort to use these qualities in each of our sessions with our clients.
Can you do less than 6 to 20 sessions?
Completing fewer than 6 to 20 therapy sessions can significantly reduce the likelihood of achieving meaningful and lasting mental health improvements. Sessions below this threshold may lead to incomplete treatment, before you can fully engage in intervention techniques or develop resilience. Consequently, this shortened therapy duration can result in temporary relief without addressing core issues, leaving you vulnerable to relapse or the re-emergence of symptoms.
How often should you connect with your therapist?
Weekly or biweekly sessions are ideal for maintaining momentum and ensuring steady progress. This frequency helps keep the work fresh and actionable, enabling us to address challenges in real-time. On the other hand, waiting 3 weeks or longer between sessions often disrupts the flow of progress and reduces the overall effectiveness of the work we do together.
Do you know how many sessions you need to reach your therapy goals?
In short-term therapy, working through both the surface and underlying issues within a 6–20 session window allows you an opportunity to develop sustainable strategies for handling your concerns more effectively in the long term.
(If needed, long-term therapy, which can last a year or more and may explore deeper, lifelong patterns and issues.)
What does your therapist want?
Your therapist does not have a goal to prolong therapy sessions. Our goal as a practice is to get you to your therapy goals as efficiently as we can while staying true to our core values.
