What to Expect in Therapy:

.

Direct, no-BS communication. We'll get straight into it, because your time is valuable and you're here to change your life, we take that seriously and we’ll laugh a lot.

  1. A firm belief that therapy shouldn't last forever, or be an academic exercise. You can expect practical, evidence-based skills that you can actually use in your messy, real life.

  2. A focus on action, not just insight. Understanding why you do something is great, but the real work of change is in practicing new ways of showing up and experiencing ourselves differently. Insight on its own doesn’t change behavior, it actually often makes our patterns harder to bear.

  3. Humor. We will laugh. Even when things are heavy, finding moments of lightness is part of the process and how we signal safety to our nervous systems.

  4. A collaborative, "we're in this together" vibe. I'm an expert in treatment, but you are the expert on your life. We'll combine our expertise to figure out what works for you.

  5. Gentle, but honest, call-ins on patterns, truth and accountability. I will compassionately point out when you're getting in your own way. We'll look at the "why" without judgment and find a new way forward. Telling the truth to ourselves about ourselves is one of the bravest and hardest things we can do. We call them blindspots because, we can’t see them.

  6. The occasional, "This reminds me of a meme..." Because sometimes, a meme perfectly captures the ridiculousness of the human experience, and it's validating to know you're not the only one who feels that way.

  7. A "come as you are" environment. There is no need to have it all figured out before you get here. Bring the mess, the uncertainty, the exhaustion—it's all welcome.

  8. Permission to be imperfect. This is a space where you don't have to pretend. You can be human, make mistakes, and learn without shame. Progress over perfection, always.

  9. I won’t promise to "fix" you (because you're not broken), but I can promise to show up, be fully present, and walk alongside you with skill and compassion as you do the hard work of healing.
