Now, you might be asking yourself, “Okay, what actually happens when I walk in the room?” If your idea of therapy involves lying on a couch while someone takes mysterious notes and occasionally responds with “mm-hmm,” you’re certainly not alone. And while there’s absolutely a place for quiet reflection, our time together will usually look a little more like a conversation. I’ll ask questions, listen closely, offer observations, and occasionally invite you to look at something from a different angle. You can expect curiosity, honesty, compassion, and yes, sometimes even laughter. The goal is to develop a trusting alliance that feels safe for us to explore.
We might probe how past experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and connect with others. Other times, we’ll focus on what’s happening right now and find practical ways to navigate it. Often, it’s a little of both. I draw from different therapeutic approaches because people are wonderfully complicated, and no single method fits everyone. You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly organized explanation of your life or even know where to begin. We’ll work together to make sense of what’s happening, discover what matters to you, and find a way forward that feels like your own. If this sounds like something you are looking for, I invite you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are the right fit.
