In therapy, fit is crucial. Research shows that the relationship between the therapist and client is the most important factor in successful treatment. Because fit is so important, I offer all prospective clients a free 15-minute call to explore how we might work together.

In addition to considering fit, I use this call to screen you for crisis and determine if I am well positioned to meet your needs, or if you would be better served by someone with different areas of expertise.

After the initial call takes place and we both agree to move forward, we will schedule an intake session. We start by collecting background information, determining therapy goals, and building a treatment plan. We then continue with weekly or biweekly therapy sessions as needed.

You always remain in control of how much you choose to share with me. You are the expert of your experiences, and I will go at your pace.

I offer longer sessions to make my services more accessible to you. These sessions give us time to go into deeper content and address your needs with the focus you deserve.

I apply the Gottman Method. Backed by decades of research on thousands of couples, the Gottman Method offers a clear structure for addressing relationship struggles.

The first few sessions involve an in-depth relationship assessment to identify your relationship’s strengths and challenges. From there you and your partner will practice skills to target specific issues that come up.

I also work with neurodiversity in relationships to unpack and explore differences in neurology as a source of conflict. Bringing greater awareness to the role of neurology in emotions and communication helps couples increase their understanding of themselves and each other.

In a couples session, time goes fast. Book 75 minutes for extra breathing room so you and your partner can both feel heard. You will appreciate the extra time to practice new skills from beginning to end. No need to rush or finish only halfway.

I offer psychological assessments for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Assessments take place over several sessions and may include self-assessments as homework. Regardless of how you score, you will walk away with a better understanding of your symptoms and how they affect you, and we will build this information into your treatment plan.

This process does not need to be scary. Many clients find it both healing and empowering to learn more about how their brains work and how to care for their needs.
