Most clients begin with weekly sessions — and for the kind of relational, nervous-system-level work we do together, that consistency matters. It allows us to build momentum, maintain the thread of what we're working on, and give your nervous system the repeated experience of safety it needs in order to actually update.

As the work progresses, some clients shift to twice-monthly sessions for ongoing integration and support. Others choose a more intensive period for deeper trauma processing. We'll make those decisions together — collaboratively and honestly — based on where you are and what the work needs.

How long therapy takes depends on what you're bringing and what you're hoping for. I don't believe in open-ended therapy that continues indefinitely without purpose — but I also don't believe in rushing work that requires time to do properly. We'll check in regularly so you always have a clear sense of where we are and where we're headed.

The pace is always yours to guide.

Yes. Some clients are strictly virtual or in person; others use a hybrid approach. I am open to whatever works best for you.

I work with clients from Monday through Thursdays between 9am-4pm.

Take your time reading through my website and notice what stands out to you. If something resonates and you sense I may be a good fit, I invite you to reach out.

Therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and free to be yourself—including feeling nervous or unsure at first.

The first session is a free-flowing conversation where we start getting to know each other. I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy, and we can talk about what has or hasn’t been helpful for you in the past.

You’re welcome to ask questions, too. This session is just as much about you getting a feel for me and my approach. Building trust matters, and this first meeting helps us see if working together feels like a good fit.

I’m often described as a warm, down-to-earth therapist. Therapy with me isn’t about being lectured or talking into the void—it’s a collaborative process rooted in honest, sometimes playful conversation.

I blend professionalism with a relatable approach because healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and genuinely connected.

Many of my clients have tried therapy before and found that traditional talk therapy wasn’t enough. My approach goes beyond insight alone by helping you understand and work with your nervous system.

I use a somatic framework, parts work, and EMDR to support deeper, more lasting change—always tailored to your pace and needs. I’m highly trained in working with trauma and dissociation, and my work focuses on creating real, embodied transformation, not just understanding why you feel the way you do.

Yes—this is incredibly common. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable and even scary, especially if you’re worried about crying, feeling awkward, or opening up to someone new.

The fact that you’re here, reading this, tells me you’re already taking a brave step. We can start with a consultation call to talk through what you’re looking for and any concerns you have. From there, you get to decide what feels right for you.

You are never required to talk about anything before you're ready — and readiness is something we build together, not something you have to arrive with.

If there's something that feels too tender, too private, or simply not something you want to go near yet — that's completely valid information. We can work around it, work up to it, or simply work with the fact that it's there without touching it directly until the time feels right.

In fact, the places you're most protective of are often the places where the most important work eventually happens. We'll get there when your system is ready — and not before.

You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to in therapy. EMDR is one tool, and I incorporate many techniques in our work together. You always have a choice in how we work.
