HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Step 01
FREE CONSULTATION
Start with a free 20-minute video call. This is a chance for us to get a sense of fit. You can ask me questions and share a bit about what’s bringing you in.
Step 02
INITIAL SESSION
If it feels like a good match, we’ll schedule your first session. We’ll take time to understand what matters to you and begin exploring how I can support your goals.
Step 03
ONGOING WORK
Therapy is a process. Over time, we’ll move at a pace that feels right, creating space to build clarity, work through obstacles, and reconnect with yourself in meaningful ways.

The consult is a free 20-minute video call where we can see if working together feels like a good fit. I’ll give you space to share more about what’s bringing you in. If I feel like I can help you, I will explain my approach and answer any questions you have about it. Finally, we’ll discuss logistics like scheduling and fees. If it feels right for you, we can go ahead and book the first session on the consult. If you need more time to decide if you’d like to go ahead, I can also check in with you in a few days.

Before our first session, I’ll send you an informed consent form to fill out. We’ll briefly review it at the beginning, and then we’ll get into the session. Some people come in knowing exactly what they want to talk about. Others don’t know where to start and feel more comfortable if I prompt them with a question. The approach I take will depend on you.

It’s important to start with weekly sessions, especially in the first 6–8 weeks. This helps us build momentum and lay the groundwork for deeper exploration. Over time, we can revisit the frequency based on what feels supportive and sustainable for you.

We’ll arrange your free 30-minute consultation via email. After that, you’ll be able to book sessions yourself through the Jane App platform.

It depends on what you’re looking for. Some clients come for a handful of sessions to get support through a specific challenge. Others stay longer because therapy becomes a place where they can go deeper, not only easing symptoms, but also exploring patterns, relationships, and parts of themselves that take time to unfold. My approach is well-suited to both, though many people find that longer-term work allows for more lasting change. Ultimately, we’ll move at your pace and decide together what feels right for you.
-
That’s an important question, and one we can talk about openly in our sessions. It’s normal to have periods where change feels slow or unclear. Therapy isn’t always a straight line. If you’re not feeling progress, we’ll pause together to reflect on what’s happening: what’s feeling stuck, what’s getting in the way, and what you might need differently from me. Therapy works best when it’s collaborative, and part of my role is to check in with you and adjust our approach so the work feels meaningful and supportive for you.
-
You’ve likely found the right therapist when you feel safe, seen, and understood, when the person across from you feels genuinely present, engaged, and nonjudgmental. A good therapist helps you explore even the parts of yourself you feel ashamed of, without pulling away or simplifying. They meet you not as a distant expert, but as a steady, authentic presence, someone who supports and challenges you as you face what’s most difficult.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
— Carl Jung
