What should a new client know about working with you?
I draw from a combination of evidence-based practices—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and client-centered therapy—to tailor the therapeutic relationship to your unique needs and goals.
My primary focus is on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a progressive approach that emphasizes mindfulness and self-compassion while helping you understand your personal values—what kind of person you want to be, what you want your life to look like. Together, we'll create a clear, actionable vision of what it means for you to thrive.
My style tends to be warm and not-too-formal, but you can expect the therapeutic process to be rigorous and intentional; I'm deeply committed to showing up for my clients and helping them learn how to show up for themselves.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
We'll start with an intake, a session geared towards getting to know one another. This is an opportunity for you to share where you are in your life, what sorts of issues you're struggling with, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. From there, we'll work together to build a set of goals and objectives, both long-term and short-term, that will help guide your progress as we move forward. It's okay if you don't have all the answers coming in! That's what this initial stage is for—I'm here to help you develop a deeper sense of clarity.
From there, we'll begin to identify obstacles to those goals, and work together to move past them. Your vision of what constitutes a good life can change over time, and progress isn't always linear—accordingly, this is a space where you'll be able to feel safe, understood, and supported, no matter how things are going. Some sessions will be about insight. Some will be about catharsis. Some will be about tackling a specific problem and generating new ways to move past it. But always, my priority is for you to leave every session feeling seen, reassured, and a little less lost.
