What to Expect
Our work together is collaborative. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you develop greater clarity and understanding of yourself.
Sessions are tailored to your needs. There's no predetermined roadmap. Whether you benefit more from deeper listening, structured problem-solving, embodied work, or exploring specific modalities, we will shape our sessions around what serves you best.
You set the pace. There's no rush. We'll move at whatever speed feels manageable and generative for you. Some clients prefer to focus on one issue; others like to explore multiple dimensions of their life.
Our work is not about fixing — it's about understanding. When we understand ourselves more deeply, insights naturally emerge and change happens organically.
We use a combination of talk therapy, experiential techniques, and evidence-based modalities. Depending on what you're working on, this might include EMDR for trauma processing, DBT skills for emotional regulation, IFS for internal conflicts, somatic practices for body awareness, or simply space to be heard and understood.
