my approach
Empathic, & non-judgmental support to meet you where you are at.
I believe that self-exploration leads to growth. Many of us suffer due to patterns of behavior that no longer serve us. We feel anxious and trapped, repeating the same harmful or limiting thoughts and behaviors while at the same time judging and disliking ourselves. Therapy offers a space to slow down and look inward. Within a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, you can begin to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Ultimately, therapy offers a chance to know yourself more deeply and become more authentically you.
My approach is warm, curious, open and supportive. I incorporate humor and gentle challenge while holding deep respect for your past and present along with the external realities of your life.

THE PROCESS:
-
-
In our first session, I invite clients to share their reasons for seeking therapy at this time. I listen attentively while also asking clarifying questions. Clients will get a sense of me and how I work and have the opportunity to ask questions.
An intake session is 80 minutes and can occur either in person at my office in Chapel Hill or online via a secure, HIPAA compliant video call.
For parents or caregivers, the first session is a parent-only meeting where we can openly discuss the concerns that are bringing you in along with your child’s strengths The intake period will also include 3-4 in person sessions with your child followed by another meeting without your child to discuss recommendations and next steps.
-
Weekly therapy sessions offer a consistent and reliable space to work together over time to meet your goals. Due to the type of depth of therapy I practice, I typically meet with clients once per week, though we can arrange more frequent sessions if we both agree that this is indicated and would be beneficial.
Individual therapy sessions for both adults and children are 50-53 minutes.
Relationship and family sessions can be scheduled for either 50 or 80 minutes, depending on your needs, and are available in-person or virtually.
