Therapy can last anywhere from a few months to ongoing or intermittent care over years, depending on the goals and needs of the client.

Many of my individual adult clients come to me to address long-standing patterns and want to do longer-term, depth therapy work.

For children, I often find the work takes from several months to a couple of years, depending on a large variety of factors.

I am happy to give you a better estimate about how long therapy would last for you during a consultation call or initial visit.

I tend to be genuine, grounded, warm, open, curious, present, active and engaged. My approach is collaborative and non-judgemental. I make use of humor and lightness as well as being with my clients as they explore harder emotions and experiences. Children and adult clients describe me as caring, accepting, a good listener and understanding.

Sessions are different for everyone, but in general you can expect to have a space to talk (or, in the case of kids, play) about whatever feels important to you in the moment. I offer questions, comments, and reflections to encourage deeper reflection.

A unique aspect of therapy is that it is two people (or more) working together to explore and make sense of you and your experiences. Ultimately our goal is to understand you (or your child). Increased self awareness opens the door for more honest and authentic engagement in your life and increased agency to be the person you wish to become.

Great question and one that I invite you to ask me again on a consultation call.

It is important that you feel safe and comfortable bringing your whole self into the therapy room and so I welcome any questions you have in determining if that is possible with me.

I am a white, American-born, cisgender, female-identifying, monolingual English speaker.

I work with people with a wide range of identities including LGBTQ+, straight, BIPOC, white, ethnic and multi-ethnic people, people with disabilities, people with traditional and alternative family and relationship structures, spiritual, religious and nonreligious people.

There is a parking lot and clients can expect to find a spot close to the entrance of the building if not directly out front. My office is on the first floor, and could be accessed by someone in a wheelchair.

There is a a shared waiting area that is relatively low traffic. There are magazines, children’s books, and a small bin of toys and fidgets. There are two bathrooms that are shared between many suites. They are all gender and they could accommodate a parent and child.

I will wear a KN-95 mask in session if I have a cold and/or if a client requests it. I have masks available for both children and adults to wear if they are feeling sick.

There are several sound machines throughout the space that make soft, consistent fan noises. My office is lower scent, however scented cleaning products are sometimes used and people may be wearing scented products in the shared waiting area.

In addition to in-person meetings, I see clients virtually over video call. This requires clients to have a private space to meet and a device that has a camera, speaker and a stable internet connection.

If you have other questions about accessibility, please ask!
