HOW I WORK

When you sit down with me, we’re not just talking—we’re problem-solving.

You don’t have to know exactly where to start. Honestly, most people don’t. We’ll figure it out together.

Sure, we’ll figure out what’s going on, but we won’t stop there. Sometimes people work really, really hard on the wrong problem. So, before we decide what comes next, we need to understand what’s actually getting in your way. Once we understand that, the next steps usually become much clearer.

I’ll ask a lot of questions, and I’ll tell you what I’m seeing. If I think we’re chasing the wrong problem, I’ll say so. If something doesn’t quite fit, I’ll probably stop you and ask about it. Those moments matter because they’re often where things start to make a little more sense.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy every single minute to be meaningful. We’ll absolutely talk about difficult things, but chances are, we’ll laugh a lot, too. Sometimes the moment we laugh is the moment something clicks. And if you’ve been trying the same thing for years with the same frustrating result, don’t be surprised if I ask, “So, how’s that working for you?”

No two people walk into therapy with the same story, so I don't expect every session to look the same. Some days we're sorting through something that happened this week. Other days we're connecting dots that have been there for years. Sometimes we'll slow way down because you said something I don't want us to rush past. Other times we're mapping out practical next steps.

You may leave a session with more questions than answers, and that’s okay. Sometimes the biggest shifts happen later, while you’re driving, in the middle of a conversation, or just going about your day when you suddenly catch yourself thinking, “Wait, I’ve done this before.” Those times matter because they’re a sign you’re beginning to see things differently, and that’s where the lasting change begins.
