Modalities
Some of the modalities tailored to your needs will include:
-
ACT encourages you to embrace your thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with your values, promoting psychological flexibility and well-being.
-
This approach helps you develop a kind, nonjudgmental attitude toward yourself, especially in times of difficulty. This entails the use of mindfulness, self-kindness, and a sense of common humanity.
-
Polyvagal theory is a framework that guides us in understanding how your autonomic nervous system influences emotional regulation and helps us work towards greater safety and resilience. Somatic therapy is the corresponding technique that helps you connect with and process physical sensations in the body, supporting emotional healing and restoring bodily awareness.
-
This approach helps you explore and harmonize the different parts of yourself, fostering inner balance and self-compassion.
-
This method emphasizes your strengths and resources, concentrating on practical solutions and achievable goals to create meaningful change.
-
CBT helps you reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For ADHDers, behavioral activation —an aspect of CBT—can be particularly effective. It focuses on taking meaningful actions and building structured routines, which supports better executive functioning.
-
CPT helps you navigate and reframe distressing thoughts related to trauma. By focusing on understanding and changing these unhelpful beliefs, CPT aims to ease your symptoms and support a healthier, more balanced perspective.

Things happen. In an effort to support folks through the unpredictability that is life, I have the following cancellation policy in place:
Day-of cancellations due to being sick, caring for a loved one who is sick, or for other emergencies will not be charged.
Any non-emergency cancellations with less than 48 hour notice will be charged half the session rate. This 48 hour window of notice gives us the chance to find another time to reschedule for the same week. If we’re able to reschedule that same week, the late-cancel fee will be credited to the session fee.
As a support measure, appointment reminders are sent via email, and can also be sent via text if desired.
If late cancellations and/or no-shows increase in frequency, we’ll check-in about what scheduling changes could be helpful for you.
Lastly, there’s no charge for any session I may need to cancel, and I’ll do my best to give advanced notice. -
Under federal law, we provide a good faith estimate of your expected costs to help you make informed decisions. This estimate gives you a general idea of potential charges, but actual costs may vary based on your specific needs.
You have the right to receive and review this estimate before services begin. If you have questions about the estimate or need more details, please contact us.
For additional details about your rights, visit cms.gov/nosurprises or call the No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059. -
Some individuals are so accustomed to "tough love" and can feel very uncomfortable with a more compassionate approach. That’s perfectly okay. My goal is to help you navigate any feelings of shame, discomfort, or trauma related to self-love.
You can expect a therapist who comes well-prepared for each session and is committed to supporting your growth.
In return, I ask that you do your best to practice the tools and strategies we discuss outside of our meetings. The bulk of your progress will happen in your daily life, so engaging with the material between sessions is crucial.
When you encounter challenges along the way with practicing these tools, we will work on helping you overcome them to continue making progress. -
FIRST SESSION:
Our first session is focused on identifying the specific changes you want to see and where you currently stand in proximity to those goals. We also discuss current coping skills and identify any additional tools that can be emphasized or introduced as we start our work together.
SECOND SESSION AND ON:
Our second session continues to focus on establishing a foundation for us to build on. We'll identify potential barriers, limiting beliefs, or any other themes that are prevalent in your journey and discuss additional tools to start using inside and outside of session. I'll provide helpful graphics, writing practices, and videos related to the paths we're taking.
The temporal focus of sessions will fluctuate as feels appropriate - meaning that we'll discuss things from the past, present, and future based on what feels most helpful in that moment.
The course of our work together is guided by the goals you set and the checkpoints we help you reach. As we're checking in about those goals and the distance you've traveled towards them, you're always welcomed to advocate for changes in our work.
Ultimately our time together can end for a multitude of reasons including: you've succeeded at making the changes you sought out, your capacity for therapy has changed, I encourage you to seek more specialized support from referred therapists, and on.

How often we meet depends on your needs, preferences, and schedule. While it's easier to establish a foundation with greater consistency from weekly sessions, it can also be done on a bi-weekly basis -- just at a more gradual pace.
Session frequencies are flexible because your needs and the level of support you want can change over time. Whenever you’re ready to adjust our meeting frequency, or to discuss graduating from care, you can let me know and we'll move forward.
Getting to know and trust someone takes time. If you or I come to conclusion that support from another source would be more beneficial than continuing our work together, we can discuss a transition out of care. I’m happy to provide referrals and support through that process.
