Healing does not happen all at once, but it does have a shape. Most people move through three natural phases of therapy, each one building on the last. Understanding that arc can make the process feel less uncertain and more like something you are moving through with intention.
Phase one
This is where we go deepest. We explore your history, identify the patterns that have shaped how you see yourself and the world, and begin processing the experiences that still carry weight. Sessions are weekly because this is the most focused part of the work and because you deserve consistent, dedicated support during the most tender part of the process.
Weekly · First 2 to 6 months
Phase two
As things begin to shift, you start living the work between sessions. This phase is about deepening your trust in yourself, practicing new ways of responding, and building the tools that make those changes last. We meet less frequently because you are beginning to carry more of this on your own and that is exactly the goal.
Every other week, tapering to monthly
Phase three
This phase is not about maintenance, it is about becoming. We check in periodically to tend to anything that resurfaces, celebrate how far you have come, and explore new growth beyond what originally brought you here. Returning to therapy is never a step backward. It is part of living with intention and knowing yourself well enough to ask for support when it matters.
Quarterly, moving toward annual
Every path through this work is different. Timelines shift based on what you are carrying and the pace that feels right for you. We will always make those decisions together.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing
For when fear and earlier experiences still quietly shape your decisions. EMDR helps the brain process what remained unfinished, so memories no longer carry the same emotional weight.
A precise, body-aware approach
Brainspotting reaches the places that talk therapy cannot easily touch — accessing the body's own capacity to release and reorganize what trauma left behind.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Fear often appears the moment we move toward the life we want. ACT helps you build psychological flexibility — and step forward with intention, even when fear is in the room.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills
Practical tools for navigating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and staying grounded in the difficult moments — so deeper work becomes possible.
We begin with a short, pressure-free conversation to talk about what brings you here and whether working together feels like a good fit. No preparation needed. We start where you are.
Early sessions are about understanding your history, identifying patterns, and establishing the safety that deeper work requires. We move at a pace that feels right for you.
This is where change happens — slowly, deliberately, and with your full participation. Sessions evolve as you do. The goal is always your most integrated, grounded self.
