Here are some common questions about therapy and my work.
For me, therapy is like a playground. a space for playful, cooperative exploration. It is designed to be safe and joyful but in actuality - anything can happen.
All of you is welcome here and we are in the field together. Let's look, listen, feel and connect, not only with what is there but also that which is absent - the empty spaces, splits, holes and silences that withhold our liveliness, excitementand sense of vitality. If the joy is there, great - but if it's missing, let's look together how we can help bring it back. The experience of being in this kind of a therapeutic setting can take many forms. It can be fun and exciting, but also hard, emotional and intense. It depends on what each of us brings and how it all fits together when we meet. I am there to give weight to whatever is there. To be with you in this shared, relational space, fully present to hear, see, feel with you. To be your companion in this adventure or self exploration and growth. Sometimes this means warmth, empathy and compassion and sometimes a brisk challenge to stand up, rediscover and show your strength. We can both laugh and cry and everything in between - whatever is needed to move towards a goal we shape along the way. Expect to be heard, seen and challenged to show yourself as you are in that very moment. Expect to be accepted exactly as such. Expect it all. Expect warmth, compassion, frustration, empathy and pain. Expect any emotion, thought or expression imaginable as a possibility - and I will - with deep love for this open field - expect the same. It is precisely in this open, fertile field that the exciting potential of our therapeutic playground lies. If we persevere, expect us to grow, wider, more open, clearer and more industrious than before, with stronger roots and branches ready to bear new fruit.The first session is a low-pressure conversation where we get to know each other. I'll ask about what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to achieve, and any relevant background. We'll discuss how therapy works, confidentiality, and logistics like scheduling and fees. By the end, you'll have a sense of whether we're a good fit, and we'll outline a basic direction for our work together. There's no expectation that you need to have everything figured out—just come as you are.
Most clients start weekly and then shift to bi-weekly or monthly as they progress. Some work on specific issues over a few months, while others engage in deeper, longer-term exploration. The frequency and duration are thus flexible and depend on your goals, progress, and what feels right for you. We'll check in regularly to assess how things are going and adjust as needed.
My work is based around the humanistic, psychodynamic, relational Gestalt approach which focuses on present-moment awareness, the therapeutic relationship, and exploring how past patterns show up in your life now. I integrate elements from attachment theory, emotion-focused work, somatic awareness, and existential therapy as needed. The goal is to tailor the approach to you, not fit you into a rigid method.
Your safety and privacy is paramount. Everything you share is confidential, except in rare situations where there's a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law. I follow strict ethical guidelines and will always discuss any concerns about confidentiality with you directly.
Clients are free to choose and mix in-person and online sessions. Online therapy can be just as effective as in-person work, and many clients appreciate the flexibility. We can discuss which format works best for your situation.
Uncertainty is normal. Many people start therapy without being completely sure what to expect. You can book a single consultation session to explore whether it feels right. There's no commitment beyond that first meeting, and you're free to decide afterward whether you'd like to continue.
Once you book and pay, your slot is reserved. I ask for at least 36 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations and no-shows are not refunded. Life happens and I try to be flexible when possible, but mutual respect for each other's time and commitment is an important part of the therapautic setting.
Yes, couples sessions help understand patterns in your relationship, improve communication, and navigate conflicts with more awareness and skill. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or wanting to deepen your connection, couples therapy offers a supportive space to work together.
