What you can expect
15-min consultation
Please schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit. I think the most important factor in the therapeutic process is the connection one has with their therapist. If you do not feel safe and comfortable enough to be vulnerable with your therapist, or can see that as a possibility, progress will only go so far. I care to make sure that I can confidently assist you in achieving your healing goals. I am happy to make recommendations to other professionals trained in modalities that I am not trained in, if I believe that will be in your best interest. I respect your time and investment into yourself and want to make sure that you are getting the breakthroughs and transformations you sought out to have.
90-min intake
Once we have established a good fit, I will schedule a 90-minute intake. We will go over any immediate safety concerns, review your personal history, establish important biopsychosocial information, and provide brief testing to get a good read on your trauma impact. Discussing the reasons we are being brought to therapy can be difficult and I like to allot ample time for grounding after the session if necessary. It is important to me to discuss key factors that will inform my work with you, including your values, beliefs, vision, identity, and your awareness of your current ways of coping.
Treatment Schedule
From then on, we will discuss a treatment schedule that works best for you. This will depend on your availability and therapeutic needs. Some clients need sessions twice a week while others are comfortable once every other week. I offer trauma intensives, which are longer sessions (2–3 hours) that allow us to stay with and process difficult material more deeply than a standard 50-minute session often allows. These are most effective for clients who feel ready to go deeper into their healing work. However, we typically begin with hourly sessions to establish safety, connection, and readiness.
At this time, I am only accepting new clients that are ready to start preparations for deeper healing work.
I am prioritizing clients that feel ready to commit to new outlooks, new patterns, and a new state of being. So if you think this is a good fit and feel ready to schedule a 15-minute consult, I am excited to meet with you and answer all your questions!
