What This Work Looks Like

Individual Therapy. Long-Term. Insight-Oriented.

I don't work from a list of symptoms or diagnoses. I work with the parts of your life that aren't working, the patterns you keep running into, and the relationships, with yourself and with the people around you, that feel harder than they should.

Most of the people I work with have been to therapy before. They left wanting more: more honesty, more depth, more help actually understanding why they keep ending up in the same place.

That's the work I do. Long-term, individual therapy that goes past coping skills and into the patterns themselves, many of which started long before you were old enough to name them.

This isn't a quick fix, and I won't pretend it is. It's a real, ongoing relationship, built on honesty and the kind of safety that gives you the courage to fully explore and make sense of yourself.

I help you understand your childhood relationships, and teach you how to stop them from hurting your adult ones.

Individual Therapy, Even When We're Talking About Relationships

A lot of this work touches on relationships: the one you grew up in, the ones you're navigating now, and the one you have with yourself. But I work with individuals, not couples. If you're looking for couples counseling, this isn't the right fit. If you're trying to understand why relationships keep feeling harder than they should, whether that's with a partner, a parent, or a friend, that's exactly what we'll work on.

Why Long-Term, On Purpose

Understanding a pattern that took decades to form doesn't happen in a few sessions. The work is slower than people expect, and that's intentional. We build the kind of emotional intelligence that helps you name what you feel, understand its source, and respond instead of react. That takes time, consistency, and a real relationship between us; not just a treatment plan.

And if life takes you away and brings you back years later, you won't be starting over with a stranger. I hold onto the details of our work together, so we can pick up close to where we left off, even if it's been a while.

What I'll Ask of You

I won't just nod along and tell you what you want to hear. Part of my job is reflecting back what I actually see, even when that's uncomfortable. I don't come into sessions with an agenda for who you should become, or what I think you need to do. I trust you to know your own best interest, and my role is to help you get clear enough to act on it.

That kind of honesty only works when it comes from real compassion, not judgment. I try to see the best in you, even in the choices you're least proud of, because that's what lets shame step out of the way so you can actually look at things clearly. To do this work, I'll ask you to take a leap of faith and let me see you vulnerably, before you're fully ready to be seen. If you're not there yet, that's alright. I'm good at recognizing it, and we'll build the trust first.

STEP 2:
We Meet

If it sounds like a good fit, we'll schedule a consultation. It's an hour, it runs like a real session, and it gives us both a chance to see if this is the right match.

STEP 3:
We Begin

If we decide to move forward, we'll set a regular weekly time and get started. The early work is about building the foundation: understanding your history, your patterns, and what you're hoping to change.

Individual Psychotherapy: $275 / Session
I offer risk-free consultations. Consultations are an hour and work like an intake session: I'll gather background and share some initial thoughts on what we might work on together. If we move forward, that session is billed as a regular session. If not, there's no charge.
Individual sessions run 50 to 60 minutes, typically once a week to start.

Some established clients reduce their frequency once we've built a strong foundation together
