My approach to psychotherapy
Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and figure out together if I am the right fit for what you are working through. We start by understanding where you are at right now and what you want your world to look like. We will work together to identify specific goals and objectives and build a clear path toward them. My practice is structured enough to create real momentum and flexible enough to support your unique individual journey.
Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, personal crisis, navigating a major life transition, working through grief, or adjusting to an unexpected change, we'll progress in treatment together at a pace that makes sense for you.
