Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing, identify patterns that may be impacting your well-being, and work toward building tools that empower you to navigate life's ups and downs. Our sessions will be a space for you to gain clarity, cultivate resilience, and move forward with more confidence and balance.

I ask that my clients actively engage in the therapeutic process. This might include reflecting on our conversations between sessions, trying out new strategies, or practicing self-awareness in everyday situations. Engaging in therapy helps create lasting change and supports your growth, both in and outside of our sessions.

I offer free 15 minute consultations over phone or video, giving us a chance to connect and discuss what you’re looking for in therapy. This brief conversation allows us to explore whether my approach aligns with your needs and goals. It's also a time for you to ask questions about the therapy process, my style, and how we might work together.

If you reach out for a consultation, I will ask you complete a short pre-consultation questionnaire. The purpose of this is to help me schedule a time that works for both of us and it will serve as a guide to our initial conversation. This questionnaire is not mandatory so if there are barriers to it or you simply don’t feel comfortable with it, we can find a workaround!

After our consultation, if we both feel good about working together, we will schedule a first session. You will receive intake documents to review and forms to fill out. This is required to be completed before the first session. These include important details about my practice, policies, informed consents, and questionnaires that will provide me with a deeper understanding of your background to better support your needs.

I aim for my space to be a place where you can be yourself, and engage in therapy authentically. I encourage my clients to come as they are – whether that means showing up in comfortable clothes, expressing difficult emotions without reservation, or simply letting go of the need to 'perform'.

Feel free to truly make yourself at home in other ways – bring your own blanket, put your feet up, take your shoes off, bring a snack or your lunch to enjoy during session. Please do what will help you settle in and feel at ease. You might even catch me taking off my shoes! (With your permission, of course.)

If you find it helpful to move or fidget, I have a variety of fidget toys available. I use fidgets and move about myself in sessions. Feel free to move around as you need as well – whether that's fidgeting, stretching, or even getting up to pace a bit. Whatever helps you feel comfortable and present is welcome here.

Additionally, humor is an important part of my approach. I believe that laughter can be a powerful tool for connection and healing. While we'll explore important and sometimes challenging aspects, we'll also find moments of lightness and laughter.

My therapy space is where you can step out of the confines of daily life and explore your inner world freely.

If a diagnosis is necessary for your services or it is something you are seeking, we will work together in a collaborative process to ensure that any diagnosis is made with full transparency and understanding, in order to determine which best defines you and your circumstances.
