Approach

Slow, steady, and genuinely curious.

An honest picture of how I think about therapy — and what working together actually looks like, week to week.

04How we'll work together

My approach

"What if the thing you've been calling a problem is actually a part of you asking for attention?"

Most of the people I work with come in expecting to be fixed. They show up with a list of what's wrong and a hope that I'll know how to make it stop. I won't, exactly — and I think you'd be disappointed in the long run if I tried.

Instead, we'll slow down. We'll get curious about what your symptoms are saying, what your relationships are revealing, what your body has been carrying. Therapy with me is more conversation than checklist — and yet, it's structured by clear ideas about how change actually happens.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    A free 15-minute call so you can hear my voice, ask anything, and see if we feel like a fit. No pressure, no obligation.

  2. 02

    First three sessions

    We map your history, your hopes, and what's been hard to name. By session three we'll have a working understanding of what you're here for.

  3. 03

    Ongoing work

    Weekly 50-minute sessions, in-person or virtual. We track what's shifting and stay honest about what isn't — therapy should be a place where the truth is welcome.

  4. 04

    Endings

    When the work feels done, we'll end on purpose. A good ending is part of the therapy, not the absence of it.

06Influences

What I draw on.

I'm trained in several modalities — and I let your story tell me which one to lean on, not the other way around.

  • 01

    Relational therapy

    We use our relationship — what comes up between us in the room — as a lens for how you connect everywhere else.

  • 02

    Psychodynamic

    We listen for what the present is repeating from the past, and gently bring it into the light.

  • 03

    Somatic & parts-based

    We include the body and the protective parts of you that have been doing their best for a long time.

  • 04

    Attachment-informed

    We trace the relational patterns you grew up inside, and how they show up in what you reach for now.

A note on pace

"Progress in therapy rarely looks like a straight line — it looks like the same conversation getting quieter, or the same panic arriving with less force. We'll measure the right things."

Curious how this would land with what you're carrying?
