What should a new client know about working with you?

Appointments are collaborative and tailored to your individual needs. During our sessions, we will explore your current concerns, identify patterns that may be contributing to difficulties, and develop practical strategies to support meaningful change. My approach is warm, direct, and integrative, drawing from evidence-based methods while creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin by taking time to understand your concerns, personal history, current circumstances, and goals for therapy. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to distress and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Sessions are collaborative and may include exploring thoughts and emotions, gaining insight into recurring patterns, learning practical coping skills, and working toward meaningful behavioral change. We periodically review your progress and adjust our approach as your needs and goals evolve.
