FAQ

What can I expect in my first session (Intake)?

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust. We’ll talk about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy. Together, we’ll begin setting goals and exploring how I can best support your unique journey.

We’ll also review important details like roles, boundaries, rights, confidentiality, limitations, and expectations to create a safe and collaborative space.

Please note: Intake sessions are 60–90 minutes in length.

Our Therapeutic Approaches

An Eclectic Toolbox, Tailored for You

(Together, we’ll find what works for your healing, your growth, and your goals).

I use a variety of counseling approaches to support your growth—mentally, emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually. I believe change is possible with dedication and support, and I also recognize that life is hard, and challenges will arise. Part of our work is honoring your capacity in each moment and learning to be okay with doing your best—whatever that looks like at the time. Therapy is not just about what happens in the room—it's also about how you integrate insights and tools into your daily life. That’s why our work may include both written and experiential homework assignments to help you apply what you’re learning in real-time. Together, we’ll build tools you can carry into everyday life.

Person-Centered Therapy

This growth-oriented approach creates a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your true self and move toward personal fulfillment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT offers skills for emotion regulation, mindfulness, and healthier relationships—especially useful if you experience intense emotions or feel overwhelmed.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT helps deepen emotional bonds and build secure, supportive relationships—whether with yourself, a partner, or others.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT guides you in making room for difficult emotions while moving toward the life you want—by learning to accept difficult emotions and commit to actions rooted in your values, purpose, and resilience.

Relational Integration Therapy (RIT)

RIT is a trauma-informed approach that integrates relational depth with evidence-based practices to gently uncover how past experiences influence your present life and relationships, helping you understand how these patterns shape your emotional world.
