How I work
My work is structured, collaborative, and capacity-based. Rather than offering open-ended therapy, I work with clients who want direction, accountability, and a clear path forward.
​
We determine how we work together based on readiness, stability, and the kind of change you are seeking — not preference alone.
TWO WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
— depending on where you are and how you work.
Foundation Track:
Building emotional stability, self-observation, and internal capacity for change.
$175 per session
Purpose: build internal capacity and emotional tolerance so therapy can actually work.
​
This track is for people who feel emotionally taxed, internally reactive, or stuck in patterns they understand but can’t yet shift. You may function well externally while feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or constantly managing your internal state.
​
Focus of this work:
-
Normalizing emotional responses rather than pathologizing them
-
Rebuilding emotional tolerance without control, avoidance, or suppression
-
Developing self-observation without self-criticism
-
Stabilizing day-to-day functioning so change becomes possible
​
This phase is not about fixing you or pushing for outcomes.
It is about restoring the capacity to stay present with your experience — which is the foundation for any meaningful change.
​
What I expect from clients in this track:
-
Willingness to notice patterns between sessions
-
Openness to reflecting on internal experience
-
Tolerance for some discomfort without rushing to eliminate it
​
This track often serves as preparation for deeper integrative work.
Intergration Track:
For clients ready to apply insight, tolerate discomfort, and make sustained change.
$250 per session
​
Purpose: help high-functioning clients stop fighting their internal experience and move forward with clarity.
​
This track is for people who are stable, capable, and reflective — but feel constrained by internal resistance, overthinking, or persistent friction with life. You likely already have insight. What’s missing is integration.
Focus of this work:
-
Integrating emotional reality into decision-making
-
Learning to tolerate frustration, uncertainty, and limits without bypassing
-
Reducing internal arguing and self-negotiation
-
Taking aligned action without waiting to feel “ready”
​
This is not symptom-focused therapy and not coaching.
It is depth work for people who want to engage with reality as it is — and move forward anyway.
​
Important note:
If therapy becomes a place to intellectualize, debate, or avoid lived experience, I will address it directly. If that pattern persists, we will reassess whether this work is a good fit.
Is This a Good Fit?
This work tends to fit people who:
-
Are psychologically minded and reflective
-
Can tolerate honest feedback
-
Are willing to take responsibility for their part in the process
-
Do not expect therapy to “fix” them
This may not be a good fit if you are seeking:
-
Immediate symptom relief
-
Directionless emotional processing
-
A therapist to tell you what to do
-
Passive or authority-driven treatment
Transition Between Tracks
Some clients begin in the Foundation Track and transition into Integration work once sufficient stability and capacity are established. This progression is determined collaboratively and clinically.
​
Consultation & Investment
I offer a consultation to assess fit, readiness, and the most appropriate track. This is a collaborative conversation, not a sales call.
​
I work with a limited number of clients to maintain depth, focus, and quality of care.
