Your Therapy Journey

1. Your First Session

   Your first session is a chance to slow things down and begin building a foundation for our work. We’ll talk about your current concerns, relevant background, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, and we’ll begin identifying goals together.

2. Ongoing Therapy

   As we continue working together, therapy becomes a collaborative process focused on your goals, strengths, and growth. Sessions may involve skill-building, insight, emotional processing, or practical strategies, depending on your needs. Over time, we’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy continues to feel helpful and aligned.

3. Growth, Change, and Transition

   Therapy is not meant to last forever. As you begin to feel more confident and supported, we’ll talk openly about progress, next steps, and what it looks like to reduce or conclude sessions in a thoughtful, intentional way. My goal is for you to leave therapy with greater clarity, resilience, and tools you can carry forward.

4. Sustaining Progress

   After treatment goals are achieved, some clients choose to continue with occasional maintenance sessions. These sessions provide space to reinforce progress, address new stressors, and ensure that the tools and insights gained in therapy remain effective over time.

5. Future Support

   Life can shift in unexpected ways, even after therapy has been successful. If new challenges, transitions, or stressors arise, you’re always welcome to reach out for additional support. Many clients return for one or several sessions as needed, and I’m here as a resource whenever support would be helpful.

Individual Therapy

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s okay to come just as you are. Individual therapy is a supportive space where you can slow down, be heard, and explore what’s been weighing on you—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

Together, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and what feels most important right now. Some days may focus on understanding patterns or emotions, while others may be about building practical tools, coping strategies, or simply having space to breathe and reflect. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, and our work will always be shaped by your goals and needs.

Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in trust, compassion, and curiosity. Over time, many people find greater clarity, emotional relief, and a deeper sense of confidence in themselves and their choices. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or simply wanting to feel more connected to yourself, individual therapy offers a place to feel supported as you grow.

Couples Therapy

Every relationship goes through seasons, and seeking support doesn’t mean something is “wrong.” Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, better understand one another, and work through challenges in a more intentional and connected way, whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or navigating a specific stressor together.

In therapy, we’ll focus on improving communication, increasing emotional understanding, and identifying patterns that may be creating distance or conflict. Sessions are collaborative and structured to help both partners feel heard and respected. We’ll work at a pace that feels manageable, with the goal of creating a safer, more supportive dynamic where meaningful change can occur.

Couples therapy can support partners at many stages, strengthening an already solid foundation, rebuilding trust after a rupture, or helping clarify next steps during a period of uncertainty. My role is to support the relationship itself by helping both partners develop greater insight, empathy, and tools to move forward with intention and care.

Perinatal Mental Health

The perinatal period can be a time of profound change…emotionally, physically, and mentally. Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or adjusting to life after bringing a baby home, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or unlike yourself in ways you didn’t expect. Perinatal therapy offers a supportive space to talk openly about these experiences and feel less alone.

As both a psychologist and a mother, I understand how layered this season can be; the joy, the exhaustion, the identity shifts, and the pressure to feel a certain way. In therapy, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and respectful of where you are. Sessions may focus on managing anxiety or mood changes, processing birth or postpartum experiences, navigating relationship shifts, or making sense of the mental and emotional load of caregiving.

Our work together is collaborative and compassionate, with the goal of helping you feel more grounded, supported, and connected to yourself during this transition. There is no “right” way to experience this chapter, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. Perinatal therapy provides space for care, understanding, and meaningful support during this important time.

Infertility & Reproductive Mental Health

Reproductive and fertility challenges can be deeply personal and often feel isolating. Whether you’re navigating difficulty conceiving, pregnancy loss, complicated emotions around family-building, or the uncertainty that comes with reproductive transitions, therapy offers a space to talk openly about experiences that are not always well understood or openly discussed.

As a psychologist, and as someone who experienced pregnancy loss, I understand how complex and layered this journey can be. Grief, hope, frustration, fear, and longing often coexist, and there is no single “right” way to move through them. In therapy, we’ll go at a pace that feels respectful and supportive, focusing on your unique experience rather than comparisons or expectations.

Our work together may involve processing loss, managing anxiety or uncertainty, navigating medical systems, supporting relationships, or reconnecting with yourself during a time that can feel consuming. Therapy is a collaborative and compassionate process, grounded in helping you feel seen, supported, and less alone. You deserve care and understanding as you move through this chapter, wherever you are in your journey.

Sports & Performance Psychology

Performance isn’t just about physical skill…it’s also about mindset, confidence, and how you respond under pressure. As a former collegiate athlete, I understand the demands that come with competitive sports, including the expectations, self-doubt, and mental load that often happen behind the scenes.

Sports psychology offers a supportive space to work on the mental side of performance in a way that feels collaborative and personalized. Together, we may focus on building confidence, managing performance anxiety, navigating setbacks or injuries, strengthening focus, or reconnecting with the joy of your sport. Some sessions may be skill-based and goal-oriented, while others may offer space to process stress, identity, or transitions related to athletics.

Our work will move at a pace that feels right for you and will be grounded in your goals…whether you’re aiming to perform at a higher level, regain confidence, or create a healthier relationship with competition. Over time, many athletes find greater mental clarity, resilience, and trust in themselves both on and off the field. You don’t have to carry the mental side of sport alone, and support can make a meaningful difference.
