Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy is more than just talking—it’s a space where you can slow down, listen to your inner world, and begin to understand yourself in new ways. Unlike a friend, a therapist is trained to notice patterns, ask deeper questions, and hold space for emotions that may feel too much in everyday life. Our relationship is focused entirely on you.

I’m here not to give advice, but to help you connect the dots, heal past wounds, and move toward what feels more alive and true for you.

Every session will look a little different, depending on what feels most alive or important to you in the moment. My way of doing therapy is not highly structured—I invite you to say whatever comes to mind, even if it feels random or off-topic. Often, the unconscious brings forward exactly what needs our attention, leading us into places that feel unexpected, meaningful, and even transformative.

That said, I’ll help us stay connected to your deeper goals, whether that means processing emotions, making sense of patterns, or exploring a stuck place. You don’t need to plan anything ahead. Just come as you are.

That feeling is more common than you think. Many people worry they’re being “too dramatic” or that others have it worse. But therapy isn’t just for crises—it’s for anyone who feels stuck, numb, anxious, lost, or disconnected from themselves. You don’t need to prove your pain or have the right words. If something inside you is quietly asking for support, that’s enough.

Absolutely—and you're not alone in wondering this. Many of my clients are highly capable, thoughtful, and appear “fine” on the outside. They’re getting things done, caring for others, showing up—but inside, they may feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or quietly exhausted.

High-functioning doesn’t mean untouched by pain. Often, it means you've learned to cope through perfectionism, self-silencing, or pushing through feelings. Therapy isn’t just for crisis—it’s also a space for you to slow down, reconnect with your inner world, and explore what’s underneath the surface.

If you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” but still feel stuck, numb, or unsure of what you need, therapy can help you understand those patterns and begin to feel more fully alive—without having to fall apart to get support.

Therapy creates change by helping you become more aware of your internal patterns—how you think, feel, relate, and protect yourself—and by offering a new kind of relational experience that can reshape those patterns over time. When you feel seen, supported, and emotionally safe, your nervous system can begin to respond differently.

Thanks to neuroplasticity, the brain is capable of change throughout life. Old emotional pathways that were shaped by past pain or disconnection don’t have to define you forever. In therapy, we stay with key emotional moments in a gentle, attuned way—and this can help create new pathways for feeling, relating, and being. Over time, you may find yourself reacting differently, connecting with others more freely, and feeling more grounded in who you are.

The length of therapy varies from person to person. Some people come for a few months to work through something specific. Others choose to stay longer to explore deeper patterns and allow change to unfold over time. We’ll check in regularly to see how things are going and make sure the work continues to feel useful and right for you.
