What To Expect
2
Intake Session
During your initial sessions with me, we will get to know each other. We will discuss your reasons for coming to therapy, learn about your background, and understand what your goals are moving forward. You will get the opportunity to ask me questions and explore whether it feels like a good therapeutic fit. We will also go over consent for therapy forms.

Ongoing Sessions
Therapy sessions are generally scheduled weekly for 50 or 90 minutes long depending on presentation and treatment plan (e.g. Prolonged Exposure or Couples Therapy). I provide both short term and long term psychotherapy, which will be collaboratively agreed upon during the first few sessions.
About Treatment
Balancing the science and art of psychotherapy.
As a clinical psychologist, I have been trained in evidence-based psychotherapies that have been shown through clinical research to be helpful for a lot of people. I utilize behavioral approaches that emphasize acceptance, mindfulness, and values exploration to support you in living a full, rich, and meaningful life. I offer treatment based on the best available research and your unique needs and cultural experiences.
I work to create genuine rapport with you by bringing warmth, humor, and authenticity into the virtual room. I will both challenge you to live your life according to your values, and create safety and trust in our relationship.
Your New
Path Forward
I will collaboratively work with you to create a roadmap toward the rich and fulfilling life you envision. This will include components of the following evidence-based treatments:
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
