Answers to Common Questions about Therapy

No. You don’t have to share anything before you’re ready. We go at your pace, focusing first on helping you feel comfortable and grounded. Opening up tends to feel more natural over time as trust builds.

Trauma processing isn’t about being pushed into painful memories. We go at your pace, creating a sense of safety first. Over time, what once felt overwhelming often becomes easier to carry so you can start to feel more like yourself again.

Therapy helps you understand and shift the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Over time, many people notice they feel less reactive, more in control, and better able to handle what used to feel overwhelming.

I use structured, research-backed approaches that help your mind and body process what’s been stuck so you can experience real, lasting relief.

I am trained in, and draw from, the following treatment modalities:

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

• Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE)

• Written Exposure Therapy (WET)

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

• Motivational Interviewing

• Mindfulness-based Interventions

I combine proven methods with a grounded, real-world approach. My focus isn’t just on talking—it’s on helping you create meaningful, lasting change in how you feel and function day to day.

Yes. Virtual therapy is highly effective for many people. It allows you to do this work in a space where you already feel comfortable, while still receiving the same focused, structured support.

You may consider in-person therapy if you are experiencing psychosis or active suicidality requiring in-person safety protocols.

Getting started is simple! You can reach out to schedule a brief consultation where we’ll talk about what’s going on and what you’re looking for. There’s no pressure, just a chance to see if it feels like a good fit.
