My approach to therapy
How I work with clients and what you can expect from our sessions.
Evidence-based
All techniques are grounded in clinical research — not intuition alone. Methods are chosen to match your specific goals, history, and pace.
Collaborative
You set the direction. Sessions are a partnership where your input shapes the plan, and progress is measured by what matters to you.
Structured & adaptive
Sessions have a clear flow, but flexibility is built in. The approach evolves as your needs and goals evolve.
Between sessions
You leave each session with practical tools, exercises, or reflections that extend the work into everyday life.
What to expect
- 1A 50-minute video or audio session in a private, secure environment.
- 2An initial consultation focused on understanding your history, goals, and what has or hasn't worked before.
- 3Regular progress reviews — typically every 4–6 sessions — to adjust the plan based on outcomes.
- 4Clear communication about the therapeutic approach being used and the reasoning behind it.
