Frequently Asked Questions
-
You don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out before starting therapy. Many clients come in because they know something isn’t working, they feel stuck in familiar patterns, or they’re ready for something to change. We can use your initial consultation to talk about what’s bringing you in and whether working together feels like a good fit.
-
Getting started is easy. You can reach out through the contact form on this website, send an email, or call to schedule a free initial consultation. This is a brief opportunity for us to talk about what you’re looking for, answer any questions you have, and determine whether I may be a good fit for what you need. There’s no obligation to schedule a therapy session afterward.
-
During the first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brings you to therapy. You’ll have the opportunity to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with about your experiences, concerns, and goals. I may ask some questions to better understand your background and what kind of support would be most helpful for you.
The first session is also a chance for you to ask questions about the therapy process and see if it feels like a good fit. Together, we’ll begin to identify goals and discuss how we might work toward them in future sessions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable moving at your own pace.

EMDR helps the brain process experiences that continue to feel emotionally unresolved. Unlike some forms of talk therapy, you don’t necessarily have to describe every detail of an experience aloud. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable and make sure you understand the process before beginning.
-
No. Trauma isn’t defined only by a single catastrophic event. Sometimes experiences from childhood, relationships, loss, or other difficult periods continue to influence how you feel and respond today. We can determine together whether trauma-focused therapy or EMDR would be appropriate for you.

That’s enough of a place to start. You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong or what you want therapy to look like. Part of our work can be understanding what feels stuck, identifying the patterns that may be contributing to it, and figuring out what you want to be different.
