How I Work:
Evidence-based & systems-oriented
We connect thoughts, body, relationships, and context so your experience can make sense to you.
Cognitive tools + psychodynamic depth
Skills for today, insight for tomorrow.
Trauma-informed pacing
Respect the window-of-tolerance in order to expand it. No flooding, no forced disclosures.
EMDR-informed when indicated
If you have experienced trauma/complex trauma, or have been in therapy for a while and feel like progress has plateaued, we can add EMDR to target sticky triggers.

Am I the right therapist for you?
Plenty of studies have shown us that the therapist/client relationship is the most important factor to success in therapy, above modality, approach, length of service, or location. Let’s make sure you’re set up for success in discerning if working together will be a good match.
Likely, if you:
Want a warm, direct therapist who balances skills with depth
Are open to telehealth sessions
Are open to between-session self-guided work
Can commit to consistent weekly sessions for a period of time
Are comfortable with out-of-pocket or out-of-network payments
Unlikely, if you’re seeking:
Highly manualized, homework-heavy treatment every week
In-person services only
In-network insurance only
A therapist to “fix it” for you
Drop-in sessions here and there (are too busy for therapy at the moment)
Quick fixes without looking at patterns that keep looping
The Process:
Free 15-minute consult
Make sure we’re a fit for each other and clarify goals.
Intake/First 1–2 sessions
Map patterns, build early coping tools, set a plan.
Ongoing work
Practice skills, deepen insight, track what’s changing.
Adjust & refine
We update goals as your life shifts; add EMDR if useful.
Will I get “homework”?
Only if it serves your goals—short practices we choose together.
How long does therapy take?
It depends on your goals and history; we’ll review progress regularly.
Do I have to talk about everything?
No. We work inside your window of tolerance, at your pace.
