What Working Together Looks Like

When we work together, our focus is practical and collaborative. We’ll start by getting clear on what’s been difficult for you and what you’d like to change. From there, we’ll create a plan that fits your goals and your life.

Sessions are structured but flexible. We usually begin by checking in on how things have been going, then focus on the issues that matter most to you. I’ll teach you practical tools you can use between sessions, and we’ll review how they’re working.

My role is to guide the process and give clear feedback. Your role is to show up, be honest, and be willing to try new approaches — even when they feel uncomfortable at first. I keep my caseload small so I can give each client focused, high-quality attention.

How Long Does Treatment Usually Take?

One of the most common questions I’m asked is how long therapy will take. The honest answer is that it’s difficult to predict with certainty.

For many people with straightforward depression or anxiety, meaningful progress can happen in roughly 8 to 12 sessions. For others with more complex or long-standing difficulties, treatment may take longer — sometimes 20 sessions or more.

My goal is always to help you make progress as efficiently as possible. From the beginning, I focus on teaching you the skills you need so you can eventually manage things more independently. We’ll work at a pace that feels manageable for you and regularly review your progress.
