New to therapy? Goodness of fit is a term used in psychology and is a very real thing which consists of "the vibe", the approach, and the expertise of a therapist. Here is how you can expect me to show up in sessions:

​

The Vibe (The Relationship): I offer a non-judgemental environment that will make you feel safe, heard, and respected. The mutually real human experience is what fuels my passion for therapy. 

​

The Approach (The Method): Every therapist has a different style. Some are quiet and focus on your past; others are active, giving you homework and skills to use right now. I aim to match how you like to learn and grow while offering both the space to process as well as foster new coping skills. I use humor and self-disclosure when applicable and clinically appropriate. 

​

The Expertise (The Specialty): If you want to work on a specific issue—like anxiety, trauma, or relationship struggles—you want a therapist who has the right tools and experience for that exact problem. I specialize in relational issues, trauma/ptsd, and the treatment of eating disorders. 

Once we connect and schedule your initial session, I will send you some intake paperwork that you can easily fill out online in about 10–15 minutes. When we meet for our first virtual session, we’ll take the time to talk through what brings you to therapy so I can truly understand your story and background. Intake sessions are usually 45 minutes, but can be extended to 90 minutes upon request. Typically, it takes about 2 to 3 sessions for us to gently gather your history and collaboratively build a personalized path forward for your care.

After some time working together, you might begin to notice a gentle shift—feeling a bit lighter in your body, hearing a kinder inner voice, and holding less physical tension. You may find yourself setting and holding boundaries with a bit more ease, choosing healthy growth over what is simply comfortable, and learning to pause and breathe before reacting. Ultimately, you will get to know yourself on a much deeper level. You’ll be better able to catch and challenge untruthful or unhelpful thoughts, find more flexibility in how you handle life's ups and downs, and truly realize that you are not your thoughts.
