You don’t need to be in crisis or have a clear goal to start therapy. Many people begin because something feels off, overwhelming, or difficult to name. Therapy can be helpful if you’re feeling stuck, navigating a transition, grieving a loss, or wanting a better understanding of yourself or your relationships. We can also use early sessions to explore whether this feels like the right fit for you.

The first session is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and any questions or concerns you have. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe and respectful, and we’ll begin to shape our work together collaboratively.

Some clients come with clear goals, while others arrive with uncertainty or mixed feelings. Therapy can help clarify what matters to you, identify patterns, and explore what change might look like over time. We can return to potential goals as they evolve.

There’s no single answer. Some people attend therapy short-term to work through a specific concern, while others choose longer-term support for deeper exploration or ongoing transitions. We’ll regularly check in about what feels useful and adjust as needed.

Therapy with me tends to be thoughtful and paced. Some sessions may feel more reflective, while others are more practical or goal-focused. We adjust the structure together, depending on what’s most helpful for you at different points in the process.

You’re welcome to reach out to book an initial session or a free 15-minute consultation. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and you don’t have to do it perfectly. If you have questions before booking, I’m happy to help, and aim to respond promptly to any inquiries.

That’s completely okay. A good therapeutic fit is important, and it’s something we develop together. Early sessions are a chance to get a sense of my style and how the space feels for you. If it doesn’t feel like the right match, I’m always open to talking about that and supporting you in finding another option.

My work is grounded in evidence-based practices and integrates Existential-humanistic, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), and Attachment theoretical approaches.

These are used flexibly and collaboratively, based on your needs, rather than applied in a rigid or one-size-fits-all way.

I work with people experiencing all forms of grief, including losses that are often overlooked or misunderstood. This includes ambiguous grief, disenfranchised grief, non-finite grief, anticipatory grief, and secondary grief, as well as grief related to death, illness, trauma, identity shifts, and life transitions.

All forms of grief are welcome here.

Neuro-affirming therapy recognizes neurodivergence as natural variations in how brains work, rather than deficits to be fixed. Therefore, therapy is adapted to you, not the other way around.

This approach focuses on understanding your experiences, reducing shame, and developing strategies that support your needs and strengths, while also acknowledging the challenges of living in a world not always designed for neurodivergent people.

Yes. I work with neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan (7+), as well as parents and caregivers. Therapy is tailored to each person’s developmental stage, needs, and goals, and always grounded in respect, collaboration, and flexibility.

You do not need a formal diagnosis, to fit a specific label, or to be “sure” you’re neurodivergent. Questioning, self-identifying, or being newly diagnosed are all welcome.

That’s okay. Many people do, and particularly those who are neurodivergent.

Therapy doesn’t require you to know how to explain things clearly or have perfect emotional awareness.

We can use different ways of exploring experiences, including slowing things down, noticing patterns, or working with examples instead of feelings-first language.
