Work With Me

Working with me is collaborative, reflective, and grounded.
We slow things down enough to understand what’s actually happening—emotionally, relationally, and internally—while also creating structure for meaningful change over time.

This work isn’t rushed, and it isn’t prescriptive. It’s about paying careful attention to your experience and learning how to stay present with it in a way that allows something new to emerge.

How therapy with me actually works

Many people come to therapy with a sense that something isn’t working—but without a clear understanding of why. Others arrive with a lot of insight, yet find that understanding hasn’t led to meaningful change.

Our work doesn’t assume you already know what’s happening. We take time to slow things down and pay attention to your experience as it unfolds—emotionally, relationally, and physically.

Rather than focusing only on explanation, we stay close to what shows up in the room and in your body. Over time, this allows patterns to become clearer and new ways of responding to emerge.

That often means:

  • Slowing down reactions that usually happen automatically

  • Learning to stay with discomfort instead of immediately trying to fix or avoid it

  • Noticing how emotions show up physically and in relationship

  • Allowing insight to develop through experience, not just reflection

  • Pairing awareness with practice, without pressure or urgency

I don’t rush to eliminate symptoms or offer quick solutions. Instead, we work toward greater clarity, flexibility, and agency—so your life begins to feel more aligned with what actually matters to you.

Who I tend to work well with

I work best with thoughtful, reflective adults who are willing to engage honestly with themselves.

Many of the people I work with are:

  • Functioning well on the outside but feel stuck, disconnected, or restless internally

  • Curious about meaning, identity, and the patterns shaping their lives

  • Looking for more than coping strategies or surface-level change

  • Open to slowing down and doing emotional work, even when it’s uncomfortable

  • Interested in building a life that feels intentional, not just manageable

If you’re willing to participate actively and take responsibility for your growth, this work tends to be a good fit.

When this might not be the right fit

This approach may not be ideal if you’re looking for:

  • Quick fixes or immediate symptom elimination

  • Advice-only therapy without reflection or emotional engagement

  • A highly structured, directive model focused solely on skills or homework

  • Therapy that avoids difficult feelings or deeper questions

Being clear about this helps protect both of us and supports more meaningful work.
