The structure and frequency of our work are tailored to your individual needs, goals, and program. During our initial sessions, we’ll assess your needs, clarify your goals, and create a personalized plan together.
Most clients meet with me weekly for 60 minutes, with flexibility to increase or decrease support as your needs evolve. While every journey is unique, many clients begin experiencing meaningful progress within approximately four months of consistent one-to-one support.

While traditional therapy can be a powerful and essential tool for healing, I also recognize the value of a more integrative, flexible approach for those seeking deeper, ongoing transformation. Traditional therapy often occurs in weekly or biweekly 60-minute sessions, which can be effective but may feel limiting for individuals who are ready to explore a different approach.
Offering both counseling and coaching allows me to support you in a more holistic and transformational journey. Whether you’re looking to heal, grow, or make changes, this approach provides a flexible and comprehensive path tailored to your unique needs.
