Frequently Asked Questions

There's no single way a session looks or needs to unfold. What you bring and what you'd like to explore matter most. That said, there's often a natural rhythm to our time together.WelcomingWe begin with some time and space to connect, check in, and share anything you'd like me to know before we get started. This might include something happening in your life, something you've noticed since our last session, or something you'd like support with today.ArrivingFrom there, we may take some time to settle into the present moment. This might include orienting to your surroundings, noticing the support beneath you, or simply becoming curious about how you're experiencing yourself in the moment.Exploring & Being WithTogether, we'll get curious about what's present in your inner experience, listening for opportunities for healing, what might be needed, and how we can offer that support in ways that feel meaningful and right for you.This may involve noticing sensations, exploring feelings or relational patterns, connecting with different parts of yourself, or allowing movement and expression. Sometimes our work is active and expressive; other times it's quiet and still.Throughout, you have full agency, and I encourage you to ask for what you need. We work collaboratively, at a pace that feels right for you, making room for curiosity, choice, and a supportive way of being with whatever emerges.Integration & ClosingToward the end of our time, we'll often reflect on what we've explored, notice what stands out, and consider how what you've discovered might find its way into your everyday life.We'll also make space for any next steps, scheduling our next session if appropriate, and talking about anything you might need between sessions.

I trust that we each have a capacity to sense what feels right for us, even when that knowing isn't immediately clear. Our bodies can be wonderful allies in this process, and helping people reconnect with that inner knowing is one of the things I love most about my work.If you're considering working together, I invite you to slow down for a moment, notice what resonates, and listen for what draws your curiosity. You don't need to know exactly what you want to work on, but a genuine interest in exploring what this work might offer you is a wonderful place to begin.If you're seriously considering ongoing sessions, a complimentary introductory conversation can help us get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.

I offer complimentary 20-minute introductory conversations via Zoom for those who are genuinely interested in beginning ongoing work together.If you're interested in a single session, you're welcome to book that directly without an introductory conversation.Before scheduling, I ask that you review the information on this page, including session rates, availability, and the FAQs, to make sure the practical details feel like a good fit. That way, we can use our time together to talk about what brings you here, what you're hoping for, and any questions you have about working together.If we decide to move forward, I'll send you an intake form before our first session, to give you an opportunity to share anything else you would like me to know as we begin.

We will find a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable for you. Weekly, every other week, or occasional sessions may all be options, depending on what brings you here and what you're hoping to explore. This can change as your needs and circumstances evolve.Whatever frequency you choose, I encourage you to approach our work with a genuine commitment to showing up for yourself. The time and attention you give to yourself matter, and even small commitments can become meaningful movements toward the life you want to live.How long we work together is equally individual.
