Therapy allows you to explore, expand, and reframe your world through one-on-one sessions. Although therapy looks different for everyone, one key ingredient is a collaborative, healing relationship with a therapist who is invested in your well-being. You’ll take regular time dedicated to exploring your thoughts, feelings, memories, and relationships.

Our work begins with an initial session to get to know each other, set goals, and decide if we’d like to proceed. One of the most important factors in predicting the success of therapy is finding the right therapist for you. Your therapist should be someone you feel safe with, someone you can connect to, and someone who can support you and your goals. As with any important relationship, it can take a few tries to find the right match. If you think I might be a good fit for you, I invite you to schedule a brief phone consultation to ask me any questions and let me know what you are looking for help with.

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons, and there is no “wrong” reason to seek therapy. Therapy can be a helpful way to get support around specific stressors like a break-up or life transition, deal with long-standing patterns like anxiety and depression, or deepen your understanding of yourself and your world when things are going well. Instead of wondering whether your stressors are “enough” to warrant therapy, I encourage you to consider whether you are at a time in your life when you would like to enrich your daily experience of living, deepen your self-understanding, and find support in experimenting with new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Sessions often take place weekly, but we can work together to set a time and frequency that works for your schedule. The duration of therapy depends on a variety of factors, including your personal goals and challenges. Some people seek brief therapy to resolve a specific issue, while others prefer to engage in therapy long-term as a means of ongoing self-reflection and enrichment. After our initial session, I can provide a recommendation for a timeframe to effectively address your goals. We’ll work together throughout the process to determine whether continuing therapy is the right decision for you.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a widely practiced and research-backed approach that encourages psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and clarifying personal values. ACT recognizes that difficult thoughts and emotions are a part of life — instead of constantly trying to change the way you think and feel, ACT works to put you back in the driver’s seat so you can move towards what matters most to you.
