I offer a 20-minute free consultation call to help us determine if we’re a good fit. Just like any long-term, intimate relationship, it’s important that we both feel comfortable and at ease from the start.

During this call, you’ll have the opportunity to share some background about yourself, your current concerns, and what brought you to seek therapy. I’ll briefly introduce myself and provide an overview of my approach and the therapy process.

We’ll also discuss fees, scheduling, and then check in at the end to see if we’d like to move forward with scheduling your first appointment.

During your first appointment, we’ll focus on creating a safe and supportive environment for you to feel comfortable sharing your story. It’s a time to get to know each other, explore your goals for therapy, and begin to gently tune into your body and nervous system. For more details on what to expect and how to prepare, check out my blog post: How to Prepare for Your First Somatic Therapy Session.

Each person, relationship, and situation is unique, and every nervous system has its own pace—so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

Many clients start to feel some relief within the first few sessions simply because they aren’t navigating life and complex issues by themselves anymore. That said, trauma therapy is often a longer process that requires commitment. Because somatic therapy works at the root rather than just managing symptoms, there’s usually more to unpack and process.

My promise to every client is to work as efficiently as possible while still honoring the pace of your nervous system—because pushing too fast can actually make things worse. My ultimate goal is to help you become resourced, stabilized, and regulated enough that you no longer feel dependent on therapy (or me).

It depends. The length of your therapy process varies based on what you’re working through, your goals, and how your system responds to the work. Therapy is collaborative, and we can only move as fast as your nervous system allows—there are no shortcuts to healing (not even with psychedelics).

Healing is a long-term commitment. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (a year or less), but many of my clients have histories of trauma that take longer to untangle. If you're looking for deep, lasting change, therapy isn’t just about showing up to sessions—it’s about what you do outside of them, too.

For clients who are 18 years or older, confidentiality is legally protected, regardless of who is paying for the therapy. This means that I cannot disclose details about the content of our sessions to parents or guardians without the client’s explicit written consent. While I understand that parents or guardians may have concerns or questions, my primary obligation is to maintain the privacy and trust of my client. Any information shared with parents or guardians will be strictly limited to what the client has agreed to disclose.

We can discuss and clarify any questions about privacy and confidentiality during the initial consultation or at any point during the therapy process.
