My services
I offer individual therapy for adults who want a steady, intentional space to look more closely at the patterns shaping their inner and outer lives. This work goes beyond conversation alone and asks for curiosity, honesty, and ongoing involvement in the process.
Sessions are shaped around your pace and what feels most relevant in the moment. Rather than working toward quick fixes or predefined outcomes, we pay attention to patterns, responses, and the ways past experiences continue to influence the present. The focus is on developing greater clarity, steadiness, and choice in how you relate to yourself and the world around you.
*I currently offer therapy to adults aged 18+. I do not provide services for couples, families, or minors.
$170 for 50 minutes
$252 for 80 minutes
What working together looks like
Therapy here is shared effort, and we each have a role to play. I bring presence, training, and experience, and you bring yourself and your active participation into the process. You might think of it as two people carrying a basket together. I’m holding one side with steadiness and care, and you’re holding the other. When both of us stay engaged and move together, the work is more manageable and gains momentum. Your inner work unfolds through conversation, reflection, and attention to what’s happening in real time - both in the room and between sessions. Over time, this builds more capacity to respond rather than react, both here and in your life outside therapy. I focus on supporting work that invites your reflection, engagement, and participation. My role is not to carry this for you, but to help orient the work so you don’t have to navigate it alone.
A collaborative process
How change tends to unfold
You don’t need to arrive with clarity, insight, or a polished story. What matters is a willingness to show up honestly, stay engaged when things feel difficult, and take responsibility for your side of the process. That includes reflecting between sessions, noticing patterns as they arise, and being open to examining your internal experience. Progress often looks like a series of steady steps with each one creating a little more perspective, stability, and choice. It tends to show up gradually through increased awareness, steadier self-contact, and shifts in how you respond to yourself and others. For example, people are often surprised how boundaries start to emerge with less effort and strengthen naturally as they become more attuned to their own needs. Over time, this creates real change. The work accumulates as you keep showing up for yourself.
A helpful question to consider is whether you’re ready to take an active role in this process, even when it feels uncomfortable or unclear.
