My approach: Warm, curious, and a little bit different

  • I don't believe therapy should feel like someone sitting across from you, silently nodding or speaking at you in clinical terms. Therapy with me is a conversation with a real person — full of honesty and free from judgment.

    We will definitely laugh together. At times, we may even cry together. And sometimes we'll sit with the things that are difficult to put into words.

  • I'm fully engaged, collaborative, intuitive, and genuinely curious about who you are.

    We'll talk. We'll explore. We'll make connections between your past and present. We'll look at the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, your work, and how you relate to yourself. My education, personal experience, and intuition help me see patterns that you may not yet be aware of.

  • I draw primarily from attachment and psychodynamic theories to understand not just what you're experiencing, but what may be underneath it.

    I'm especially interested in how our earliest relationships and experiences influence our beliefs about ourselves — what we think we deserve, whether our needs matter, and whether we're allowed to be fully ourselves. These early “truths” can become rooted in our identity.

You don't need to become a different person.

One of the things I love most about this work is helping people reconnect with parts of themselves they've lost touch with along the way.

The person underneath the responsibilities.

Underneath the expectations.

Underneath the perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or constant need to keep everything under control.

My goal isn't to tell you who you should be. It's to help you hear your own voice more clearly, understand your whole self more compassionately, and make choices that feel aligned with who you actually are.

Because the most meaningful change isn't becoming someone new.

It's coming home to yourself.

FAQS

  • Sometimes we just feel completely off and can’t get back on track. Or we find ourselves knowing we need a change, but have no clue where to start. Therapy can benefit anyone seeking “something,” even if you're not sure what that looks like. Book a free 15-minute consult and I can help you figure out where to go from here.

  • The first session is about getting to know each other. I’ll go over some paperwork, introduce myself, and get a feel for what you’re looking for and how I can help. There are usually a lot of questions in the first session and it’s perfectly normal for clients to feel nervous or intimidated. It’s a place where you don’t have to worry about anyone else’s feelings but your own.

    Therapy involves a bit of chemistry too — it’s important that I’m the right fit for you so that you get the most out of your sessions. It’s perfectly okay for you to decide, after that first session, that you don’t want to move forward. We go at your pace, no pressure, no commitments.

  • I do not accept insurance. However, I can provide a monthly superbill you may submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many PPO plans cover a portion of out-of-network therapy. Please contact your insurance provider directly for more information.

  • Duration varies widely based on your goals, history, and what you're working through. Some clients find meaningful resolution in a few months; others choose to continue for a year or more for deeper work.

    I do offer 75-min extended and longer intensive sessions in addition to the standard 50-min session. This applies to both regular therapy and EMDR. I find that the additional time allows for deeper processing in one session, which can potentially shorten the overall duration.

  • Absolutely. Confidentiality is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship. Everything shared in our sessions is protected by law, with a few narrow exceptions (such as imminent risk of harm) that I'll explain more when we go over paperwork in our first session.
