Each therapy session lasts about 1 hour, and the standard practice is for us to meet at the same time every week. If you're in crisis, we can meet twice a week or more. If you're facing significant time-based or financial limitations, after your first few months of weekly work, we can step down to every other week.

Depending on your needs and level of motivation, our work may be focused on a specific problem or it may be more expansive, touching on a variety of your personal concerns. At times, psychotherapy can take unexpected turns, especially as new insights are discovered and self-awareness is enhanced.

In our sessions, I'll encourage you to pay close attention to your internal dialogue, as I believe it profoundly shapes the quality of your life. I'll assist you with cultivating more kindness, acceptance and compassion towards your innermost self.

Sometimes, our work together may only require a few months together. Other times, it may take a while for you to resolve your initial problems and reach the emotional fulfillment you desire. We'll stay mindful of your progress along the way. When you feel we have reached the full benefit of our work together, we can warmly conclude.
