Therapy isn’t just for when things are falling apart. It’s for anyone who wants to grow, heal, and feel more in control of their life. If you’re feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed in relationships, or just not yourself, therapy can help. What matters most is that you feel safe and supported with the therapist you choose.

I have been trained in a variety of approaches. I always tailor therapy with my clients based on their needs, which could include somatic focus, mindfulness-based practices, attachment-focused work, cognitive tools to reframe unhelpful patterns, all the way down to EMDR, if desired (see next question, if interested). My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping you reconnect to your body and intuition.

Yes. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the approaches I'm trained in. It's a research-backed therapy that helps the brain process stuck or distressing memories, especially ones tied to trauma, anxiety, or patterns that talk therapy alone hasn't fully resolved. Many clients find EMDR helpful when they notice the same emotional reaction getting triggered repeatedly, even when they intellectually understand why. That gap between "knowing" and "feeling different" is often where EMDR makes the biggest difference.

You don't need to know in advance if EMDR is right for you. During your free consultation or early sessions, we'll talk through what you're experiencing, and I'll let you know if EMDR feels like a good fit for your goals. It's never a requirement, just one of several tools available depending on what serves you best.

I have worked with numerous individuals who have never been to therapy before. These are oftentimes my favorite clients because the amount of progress we make together is exponential! It’s quite exciting to witness and be a part of their journey.

I’ll guide you through the process, explain what to expect, and make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

I’m a no bullshit kind of therapist. I can be quite forward and do a great job of calling you out on things I notice: patterns, cognitive distortions, actions that could have been handled differently, and so on. I’ve also heard from many clients that I am very easy to talk to as I can give off “friend” type of vibes, while also still maintaining the professional aspect of applying what I’ve learned in numerous trainings.

My work goes beyond surface-level advice and helps you deeply understand your patterns so you can experience real, lasting change in how you feel, connect, and show up in life.

Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you. I’ll ask about your history, current challenges, and what you’re hoping to get out of therapy. Together, we’ll start setting goals for our work together.

For the most part, yes. What you share in therapy stays between us. However, there are a few important exceptions where I’m legally and ethically required to break confidentiality. These include situations where:

• You are at serious risk of harming yourself or someone else

• There is suspected abuse or neglect involving a child, elder (age 60+), or a dependent adult

• I’m ordered to release records by a court of law

If any of these situations arise, I’ll do my best to talk with you about it first whenever possible. Your safety and trust are always my top priorities.

Yes! Research shows that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person for most issues. In fact, many of my clients find it even more convenient and comfortable, since they can speak from the privacy of their own home or office.

It depends on your goals and the issues you're working through. While some clients benefit from short-term therapy (6–8 months), others choose to work together longer. We'll revisit your goals regularly to ensure therapy is working for you.

If you feel that therapy is not helping you, that is something that needs to be brought to your therapist’s attention so you can discuss goals and alternative options, if needed or desired.
