What should a new client know about working with you?

I have been with this practice for 3+ years, which hopefully is a testament to the longevity I have had the privilege of experiencing many clients’ individual milestones. I want our sessions to feel safe, grounded, and non-judgmental. I ensure the space allows you to show up fully as yourself, unfiltered. Identity, relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, or life transitions, are all unique and different to me, therefore I listen closely, ask questions, and tailor my approach to your unique strengths. Using evidence-based frameworks like Solution-Focused Therapy, DBT, CBT, and ACT, my goal is for you to leave each session feeling a little lighter, a little clearer, and equipped with actionable strategies for daily life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We usually start with a thorough, welcoming intake session where we explore what brought you to therapy, your background, and your specific goals for an hour. There are also some verbal assessments to run through but I try to keep it light and anything relevant for future work is always encouraged for later. Simultaneously, we settle into weekly sessions that are typically 45 minutes to 60 minutes, where we address current concerns, build practical coping skills, and track your progress. I check in regularly about what’s working and what’s not, ensuring our treatment plan evolves alongside your needs.
