What should a new client know about working with you?

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and engaged—I’m not the kind of therapist who will simply sit back and nod. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, gently challenge you when it may be helpful, and work alongside you to understand what’s underneath the patterns that keep showing up. I especially enjoy working with people navigating relationships, identity, major life transitions, attachment patterns, and rebuilding after a breakup or divorce. My practice is LGBTQ+ and non-monogamy affirming, and I welcome clients whose lives or relationships may not fit into traditional boxes. You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to work on. We can figure that out together and create a space where you can build greater self-understanding, feel more grounded in who you are, and move toward a life and relationships that feel more aligned with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Sessions with me are collaborative, warm, and tailored to what you need that day. We’ll often start by checking in on what’s been coming up in your life, relationships, or internal world and identify where you’re feeling stuck. From there, we may explore patterns, emotions, and past experiences that are influencing how you feel and respond in the present. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman Method ( for couples) and evidence-based approaches like DBT skills. Some sessions may involve deeper processing or structured exercises, while others may be more conversational and focused on gaining insight, navigating a current challenge, or developing practical tools. I don’t believe therapy should feel like you’re simply talking in circles. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, shift patterns that are no longer serving you, and create meaningful changes in how you relate to yourself and others.
