What to Expect
There’s something truly special that can happen in the therapy room. Clinically, we call it the therapeutic alliance—but at its core, it’s a meaningful, human bond built on trust, safety, and shared understanding. It’s this connection that so often becomes the foundation for healing and change.
When you meet with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming space—one where you’ll be seen, heard, and supported just as you are. I bring curiosity, compassion, and a touch of humor to our work together, because I believe therapy can be both deeply healing and gently human.
If you're ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Come on in—let’s begin.
Couples Therapy
Beginning couples therapy can feel daunting. It's common to worry that it means something is really wrong—that only couples on the brink of separation seek this kind of help. But the truth is, all relationships can benefit from slowing down, tuning in, and making space to better understand each other.
Whether you're feeling disconnected, caught in the same painful arguments, or simply longing for more closeness, therapy can offer a safe place to reconnect.
Here’s what our work together will look like:
We’ll begin with a 90-minute intake session to understand what each of you is struggling with, what patterns you find yourselves stuck in, and what changes you're hoping for. After that, I’ll meet with each of you individually to explore the deeper layers of your relational dynamics—like attachment styles and early life experiences. Then, we’ll move into ongoing sessions as a couple, usually weekly or every other week, depending on what feels right for you.
The approach I use—Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—is deeply relational and experiential. That means the healing begins in the room, through real-time shifts in how you and your partner relate to each other. Rather than handing you scripts, coping strategies, or tips for planning a better date night, I’ll help you get to the heart of what’s happening underneath the tension.
Together, we’ll begin to notice the repetitive patterns—what I often call the “dance”—that pull you away from each other. We’ll gently explore the more vulnerable emotions beneath the surface—fear, hurt, longing—and create space for those feelings to be shared and understood in a new way. From this place, partners often discover a new ability to reach for one another, soothe one another, and feel safe again.
I often describe this work as “getting to the root, not just the fruit.” Learning how to argue more politely might help in the short term, but it doesn't touch the deeper emotional disconnection that fuels the conflict in the first place. EFT helps you understand not just how you and your partner argue—but why—and how to reconnect in moments of distress with greater empathy, understanding, and care.
This work won’t guarantee that you’ll never argue again—but it will give you the tools to understand each other more fully, and to navigate hard moments in a way that brings you closer rather than further apart.
I’d be honored to walk alongside you in this process. When you’re ready, I look forward to welcoming you into the therapy room.
Individual Therapy
Have you found yourself at a crossroads—wondering how life led you here, and unsure of where to go next? Maybe things haven’t unfolded the way you expected. Maybe you’re carrying a quiet ache or struggling to make sense of unexpected challenges. If any of this resonates, I want you to know you’re not alone. Welcome to individual therapy—a space to slow down, reflect, and begin again.
Our work together begins with a 90-minute intake session, where you’ll have the space to share what’s bringing you in, and start to get a feel for my presence and approach. There’s no pressure—at the end of our session, you’re welcome to take some time to decide whether continuing together feels right for you. If it does, we’ll find a rhythm that works—typically meeting weekly or every other week for an hour.
One of the most important ingredients in meaningful therapy is the connection you feel with your therapist. If we choose to work together, you can expect a space that’s warm, open, and attuned to your unique story. We'll explore meaningful patterns, attachment dynamics, and the relationships that have shaped you. There’s also space here for spiritual beliefs, symbolism, and the deeper meaning-making that’s important to you.
Wherever you’re starting from, I’m honored to walk alongside you. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey toward healing, clarity, and connection.
