Ongoing sessions: We provide personalized, evidence-based care rooted in compassion and collaboration.Our integrated approach draws from well-established psychological research and culturally responsive practices. We’re here to support your goals while staying flexible—ready to meet you where you are and address what matters most in the moment.

We have the ethical and legal duty to keep client information confidential.

There are some legal exceptions to confidentiality, which will be covered during our first meeting.
Therapy sessions typically occur weekly and last 50 minutes. The overall length of therapy—how many weeks or months—depends on your unique goals, needs, and life circumstances. Some people find a few sessions helpful for short-term support, while others benefit from longer-term therapy for deeper exploration and lasting change.
We’ll work together to determine what feels most supportive for you.
