How I work

What you can expect in therapy

Getting to know each other

If therapy is new to you, you might feel awkward or uncomfortable at first. (Totally normal.) I won’t push or force anything. We’ll simply start with conversations. Even if therapy isn’t new to you, we are new to each other. We’ll take our time and see where the conversation leads.

Identifying your ideal outcomes

In our first few sessions, we’ll explore what you want most in your relationship. You might start considering: What do I want for my future with my chosen person?

Turning goals into actionable steps

Once we clarify your ideal outcomes, we’ll get specific. For example:

• What does feel more connected mean for you?

• What does that look like in everyday life?

• How do we make your goals tangible?

Doing the work

Once we define what needs to change, we’ll focus on action. Expect to leave each session with practical strategies and exercises (aka homework). This is where your progress happens.

Tracking your progress

• Should we focus more on one area and less on another?

• Are you noticing shifts—or not?

• Do we need to adjust our approach?

• What’s feeling different (good or uncomfortable)?

• Are you feeling heard, seen, and understood?

What else?

Here’s what else you can expect in our sessions: Humor & swears | metaphors & 80s throwbacks | tears—yours, mine, maybe both | loads of compassion and respect | celebrating your wins!
