15-Minute Phone Consultation

We will start with a 15-minute phone call to determine if my services align with what you’re seeking from therapy. There will be no charge for this.

Our first few meetings

Our first few meetings will be a time for you to share your story with me and what inspired you to seek therapy. This allows me to learn about you and to consider whether and how I’ll be able to best support you. At the same time, you’ll begin to get a sense of my approach and how it feels like to be in a therapeutic relationship with me—how I listen, respond, and guide  you. During this shared exploration, we will begin to uncover what’s happening in your world as you experience it and to reflect on the origins of your current challenges. Together, we’ll consider if moving forward in this work feels right for you.

Psychotherapy

Choosing to start therapy gives you the space to work through past traumas, navigate present challenges, and move toward future goals. Being in therapy goes beyond getting advice and fleeting reassurance.  I will make note of the parts of you that often go unnoticed. Together, we will explore and experience the most private places within you. As I listen deeply enough to feel and see the world through your perspective, I can begin to expand your understanding of yourself—both as an individual and in relation to others.

My approach to psychotherapy is relational and informed by psychoanalytic psychology and existential therapy.
