Therapy is a space that’s centered on YOU: your experiences, your goals, and your pace. In our work together, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you’re free to explore what’s been weighing on you, as well as what matters most to you. I won’t position myself as the “expert” on your life; instead, we’ll collaborate to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and to identify meaningful ways forward.

Early sessions often focus on getting to know you: your history, current concerns, and what you hope to gain from therapy. From there, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, whether that means processing difficult experiences, building coping strategies, or deepening self-understanding. Some sessions may feel reflective and exploratory, while others may be more focused and skill-based. Some days we will "move mountatins," and other days we will "play in the sand!"

For clients just starting out with therapy, I recommend a weekly frequency to build a solid therapeutic relationship and triage immediate therapeutic needs. After that, the frequency of therapy is largely up to you, your needs, and your schedule!

Above all, you can expect to be met with empathy, curiosity, and respect. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, clarify your values, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

I am trained to admnister psychological evaluations, but am not providing evaluation services currently. 

Each therapy session typically lasts 53 minutes. This allows us to use our time together fully while also giving me space to thoughtfully prepare for our work and transition between clients.

The overall length of therapy, however, varies from person to person. Some individuals come in with a specific concern and find that a shorter course of therapy, perhaps a few weeks or months, meets their needs. Others choose to engage in longer-term work, especially when exploring deeper patterns, longstanding concerns, or personal growth goals.

As a client-centered therapist, I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to duration. We’ll check in regularly about how therapy is feeling for you and whether it continues to be helpful. You’re always in the driver’s seat when it comes to pacing and deciding when you feel ready to reduce frequency or conclude our work together. Some clients transition out of therapy once they’ve met their goals, while others prefer ongoing support at a slower cadence.

Ultimately, therapy lasts as long as it’s serving you.

When working with children and teens, my primary focus is on building a safe, trusting relationship with them. Your child is my client, which means I prioritize creating a space where they feel comfortable being honest, heard, and respected. Without that sense of safety, therapy simply doesn’t work.

Confidentiality is an important part of that process. In general, what your child shares in session stays private. This helps them open up about thoughts, feelings, and experiences they may not feel ready to discuss elsewhere. That said, confidentiality is not absolute: I will always share information if there are concerns about safety (for example, risk of harm to themselves or others), and I encourage open communication within the family whenever possible.

My role is not to “hold information” from parents or to create distance within the family. Instead, I aim to support both your child and your relationship with them. I’m happy to provide parents with general updates, themes we’re working on, and guidance on how to best support your child at home, while still protecting the trust your child is building in therapy.

I’m also not in the business of “holding hostages” in my office. Therapy works best when a young person has at least some willingness to participate. While it’s common for kids or teens to feel unsure at first, I focus on meeting them where they are, respecting their autonomy, and helping them find their own reasons for engaging in the process.
