What to expect on our journey

Healing begins here

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I approach your concerns through a broader family perspective; looking at patterns passed down through generations.

I use Internal Family Systems (parts work) and attachment based perspectives in my practice to help people in all walks of life. My approach is client-led but collaborative.

I will first ensure you have a felt-sense of being understood, believed and validated, then move into your treatment goals. I consider it a great honor to be a part of your healing journey. 

What to expect during a session

During a therapy session, you can expect to engage in a structured yet natural conversation around areas in life you may be struggling with or wanting to further understand about yourself. Therapy is a collaborative process, and you play an active role in your own healing and growth. While some sessions may feel more emotionally intense than others, over time, therapy can help you build resilience, develop coping skills, gain insights into your thoughts and behaviors, and work toward your personal goals.

  • The session will likely begin with some casual conversation to help us get to know one another, or with any updates since your last session.

  • You and I might discuss the topics or issues you'd like to address during the session. This helps guide the conversation and ensure that your priorities are addressed.

  • The core of the session involves discussing your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and challenges. I will actively listen, ask open-ended questions, and encourage you to explore your thoughts and emotions.

  • I may help you explore patterns of behavior, thoughts, and emotions to gain insight into their origins and impact. This exploration can lead to a better understanding of yourself and your motivations.

  • I might introduce coping strategies, mindfulness techniques, communication skills, or other tools to help you manage challenges and improve your well-being, in addition to the parts work and attachment work we’ll do together.

  • Toward the end of the session, I will help you summarize what you've discussed and ensure that you feel supported and validated.

    If you have specific goals for therapy, I might help you track your progress and make adjustments as needed.

    We might schedule your next session and discuss any logistical details.

  • It's important to know that therapy sessions are confidential, meaning that what you discuss with me is not shared with others without your consent, except in cases where there's a risk of harm to yourself or others.
