The first few sessions may be spent on getting to know you as a person, your upbringing, and contributing factors to who you are now. This allows me to better understand where you’re coming from, where we’re starting from, and for us to build a therapeutic relationship (which is a key to impactful therapy!). Throughout the process, I will continuously check in on our established goals and how you’re feeling in therapy. I will challenge you, push you, and you will not always like it (or me), but I’ll always leave space for us to talk about it and I welcome any feedback on how I show up for you and our work together. 

My approach to therapy is experiential, which means we process what happens and shows up in the moment. I also enjoy Internal Family Systems (IFS), Bowen’s, somatic, and psychoeducational work. If you’re a fan of homework, I can definitely give you some, but it’s okay if that’s not your jam. The least I will ask of you is for some intention or accountability that we can check in on (and no there is no failing! -or gold stars.. but I can get some stickers-).

Therapy can be a continuous practice like any other health and wellness journey. 

• Some people may only feel comfortable doing a few sessions to address the acute problem coming up in their life. 

• Some people may spend years going to therapy because it’s supportive and beneficial to their life and health. This may look like regular sessions or tapering out and having sporadic check ins/tune ups as needed.

• Some people may enjoy diving deep into who they are as a person, who they want to be, how they want to show up in relationships, how they want to heal, how they want to dismantle things that no longer serve them, etc.

• Some people may benefit from having a place to be themselves, to be authentically seen and heard, to process, or have accountability.

My goal isn’t to keep on seeing clients forever and ever. My goal is to hopefully never see clients again! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the therapeutic relationships I can develop with clients and I care deeply about them, however, my goal is for clients to eventually thrive, fall down, get back up, and flourish in their own lives without my support.
