What A Session Is Like

About

A session with me is a safe, supportive space to show up just as you are. No judgment, no pressure to have it all figured out. We’ll gently explore what’s weighing on you, focusing on root causes rather than just symptoms, at a pace that feels right for you.

First Session

In our first session, I take time to get to know you—your story, what’s bringing you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from it. We’ll explore your concerns, begin identifying patterns, and work together to set meaningful therapeutic goals. It’s a collaborative, judgment-free space designed to help you feel seen, heard, and supported from the start.

The Therapy Process

Therapy is a process that unfolds over time, starting with consistent weekly sessions to build trust, gain insight, and create momentum toward your goals. As you begin to feel stronger, more clear, and confident in your growth, we’ll gradually space sessions out to support long-term healing and independence. The pace is always tailored to your needs and progress.

Scheduling

To schedule a session or reach out, you’re welcome to contact me through the website, email, phone call, or text—whatever feels easiest for you. I typically respond most quickly to email or text. Once we set a time for your first session, I’ll email a few secure forms to complete ahead of time, including basic demographics, insurance information (if using), and a brief intake to help me understand what’s bringing you in.​

Noteworthy

My Christian faith shapes how I view healing and transformation, and for clients who are open to it, faith can be gently integrated into therapy. I deeply respect each client’s beliefs and never impose my own. My goal is to meet you where you are and offer a safe, supportive space.
