Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
​
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Some clients come to therapy seeking short-term support for a specific challenge or transition, while others want longer-term support in understanding patterns and creating meaningful change. Together, we’ll determine a path forward that feels most helpful for you.

My Therapeutic Approach
Client Centered and Personalized
You are the expert on your own life. Therapy should feel flexible, supportive, and grounded in your goals and needs. Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is among the strongest predictors of meaningful change, which is why creating a space built on trust, comfort, and authenticity matters deeply to me.
Practical and Evidence-Based
My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices. Depending on your goals and needs, I may draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, motivational interviewing, strengths-based and solution-focused approaches, attachment-based work, psychodynamic insight, psychoeducation, and mind-body or somatic strategies. Often, therapy involves a thoughtful combination of several modalities.
Mind-Body Connection
Lasting change often involves more than just talking through thoughts. Our emotions, stress, and past experiences can show up in the body in ways we don’t always recognize. I often incorporate mindfulness, nervous system education, and mind-body awareness to help clients feel more grounded, connected to themselves, and supported in deeper healing and insight.
1 / Phone Consultation
​
A brief, no-cost, no-pressure 15 minute conversation to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer questions, and determine if we feel like a good fit.​​​
​
2 / First Session (Intake)
​
The first session is a chance for me to learn more about what’s been feeling difficult, what you’re hoping for, and begin getting to know you. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. First sessions are 55 minutes.​​
​
3 / Ongoing Therapy
​
Together, we’ll identify goals that feel meaningful to you, check in on progress along the way, and adjust as needed. Most clients begin with weekly, 55-minute sessions to build momentum and support meaningful change. Some clients prefer 45-minute sessions. Over time, it may be an option to transition to biweekly sessions as progress is made, depending on my scheduling availability.
While some people benefit from longer-term support, therapy is not meant to go on forever. Ideally, it has a beginning, middle, and end. My goal is to help you build insight, confidence, and tools you can carry with you after our work. Together, we’ll collaborate to find a pace and timeline that feels supportive and aligned with your goals.
