Your first session

Initial intake sessions are 60 minutes long and will feel more “clinical” in nature as I aim to capture as much root history as possible. The goal during this session is to gain understanding of what your presenting issue is that brings you into therapy, relevant history that impacts you, and gain clarity around what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past. More importantly, it’s to give you an opportunity to know me and decide if this is the safe space for you to continue the journey.

Typical Sessions

Typical sessions are 50-minutes and are adaptable based on your defined goals and preferences. I am generally a flexible clinician who wants to shape sessions to be most impactful for you. This can include walk-and-talk sessions, utilizing meditation and yoga, challenging negative beliefs, providing a safe and calm place to release anger, utilizing crafts or coloring to ease any ADHD challenges with talking to a screen. These are all parts of the therapeutic relationship and conversations I will have with you to better understand how you most effectively work and process.
