  • First and foremost, therapy is a space where you can feel safe being yourself. It allows people to explore difficult parts of their lives to gain a deeper understanding that can bring about meaningful change. Some people engage in therapy to address an isolated, well-defined issue, while others begin treatment after sensing something is “off” in their life and needs to change. I look forward to exploring your goals and collaborating in our work to achieve them.

  • Sessions are once a week and typically last 45 minutes.

  • Generally, I encourage work between sessions. This may vary depending on what goals we are working on. If we are working on mindfulness, your homework may be to take a walk and count how many times your mind is distracted. If we are exploring specific events from your past, homework may dive deeper into emotions surrounding memories using writing exercises.
