General

What’s the first session like?

We start simple. You share what’s been feeling off and what you’d like to feel different. I’ll explain how I work, answer questions, and we’ll decide together what makes sense moving forward.

How long are sessions? How often do I come?

• Sessions: 50 minutes

• Frequency: Most people start weekly. Depending on goals and progress. We’ll decide together.

Is therapy with me confidential?

Yes. What we talk about stays private, with standard legal exceptions related to safety.

If you’re a parent of a teen, we’ll also talk clearly about how communication works so everyone feels informed and respected.

What do I help with?

I specialize in teens and adults who look fine on the outside but feel overloaded on the inside.

Common themes include:

• Overthinking and mental fogginess

• School or work stress

• Anxiety or low mood

• Shutdowns, irritability, or tension at home

• Identity shifts (loss, divorce, moves, injuries, life transitions)

• Burnout and loneliness

What therapy tools do I use?

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Rework mental habits, challenge unhelpful thinking

• Beyond that, sessions are focused on real life.

  We:

  • Slow situations down and walk through them step by step

  • Problem-solve real-time challenges at school, work, or home

  • Process heavy events — loss, family tension, breakups, or things happening in the world

  • Strengthen communication so everyone is clearer and more aligned

  • Work with parents, schools, or other providers (when appropriate) to get everyone on the same page

  My style is structured, direct, and honest. Consistent.

  If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, or not like yourself lately, this is a space to think clearly, calm your mind.
