That’s exactly what the consultation is for. You’ll get a feel for my style, and I’ll get a sense of what you’re looking for. The most important factor in therapy is feeling safe and understood - so trust how you feel after we talk.

That’s completely normal to wonder. Therapy is a space just for you - no judgment, no agenda. In the first few sessions, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and clarifying what brought you here. You set the pace.

Most clients start with weekly sessions, especially when working through deeper patterns. Weekly consistency helps build momentum and trust. As things shift, we can explore biweekly or as needed check-ins.

While PTSD stems from a single traumatic event, C-PTSD (complex PTSD) usually comes from repeated trauma over time - like growing up with emotionally immature parents, chronic invalidation, or ongoing emotional neglect. It affects not just safety, but how you see yourself and relate to others.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they feel less charged. It’s not about reliving trauma - it’s about helping your nervous system finally let go of it.

IFS (Internal Family Systems) is a compassionate, parts-based approach. It understands that we all have different “parts” inside us - like the inner critic, the people-pleaser, the exile - and helps you to connect with your core self, which is naturally calm, curious, and compassionate.
