Sessions start with an initial assessment of your current challenges, strengths, and resources. Once we’ve created a complete picture, we discuss different methods of learning by which we can begin to increase your knowledge and understanding of your current challenge. 

Finally, we collaborate on the different approaches that would be helpful in reaching your goals. Through compassionate exploration, my clients and I discover the wisdom our minds and bodies develop to adapt to stress or traumatic events. We get a chance to explore how the different relational and societal, systems may have shaped how we think, feel, and behave. Through a collaborative relationship, I hope to provide a space that cultivates curiosity and honors your strengths and reality. 

I draw from various theoretical models such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, body-based therapies, attachment-focused therapies, ego-state approaches, and EMDR therapy. 

Each individual’s journey through therapy is unique and deeply personal. The timeframe for this journey is not predetermined, as it’s primarily based on your own aspirations and areas you wish to work on. Whether you’re aiming to navigate through specific issues, or seeking profound life changes, therapy could range from a handful of sessions to a more enduring commitment. There are those who find immense comfort and continual growth in long-term therapy. Regardless, I’m here to support you at your pace, on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

Therapy offers a wealth of benefits that can positively impact your life. Together, we work towards understanding the roots of your challenges and developing effective strategies to overcome them. It’s a process of personal discovery that can lead to improved emotional well-being, enhanced relationships, better stress management, and increased self-confidence. However, the gains from therapy are closely tied to your commitment to the process. 

Weekly sessions are advised for the first three months. Depending on your progress, we can discuss tapering off sessions.

If you’re determined to pursue personal growth and enhance your life satisfaction, then you’re in a great place to consider therapy. While it’s a common misconception that therapy is only for those dealing with mental illness or severe psychological issues, the reality is that therapy can be beneficial for anyone. From navigating life transitions to seeking insights into one’s thoughts and behaviors, therapy offers tools for self-improvement and self-understanding. So remember, you don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy; anyone seeking insight or desiring change can find value in this supportive process. I wrote more about how you might benefit from therapy here.

As an out-of-network provider, I do not accept insurance. However, I will offer you a statement of reimbursement for you to submit to your insurance carrier.

As a psychotherapist, I am not trained to prescribe or offer medication management. In case we find that you may benefit from a combination of psychotherapy and medication, a list of trusted providers will be provided to you.
