How to Start Therapy
- 1Book Your First Session:Use the scheduler below to book your introductory session. No intake forms, no waitlist. You pick a time that works across your time zone, and we begin.
- 2Complete a Short Questionnaire:After booking, I will send you a brief questionnaire about what brings you to therapy, your history, and what you are hoping for. This helps me prepare so we can use the full session for real work, not paperwork.
- 3Your First Session (80 minutes):We will spend the first session understanding your situation in depth: what brought you here, what you have already tried, and what you are hoping will change. By the end, you will have a clear sense of whether this is the right fit and what the path forward looks like.
My Approach to Therapy
I work integratively, drawing on Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt therapy, schema therapy, and CBT. What that means in practice: if a part of you has shut down to keep you safe, we work with that protective response rather than trying to force it open. If you keep choosing the same relationship or making the same self-defeating decision, we look at the early schema driving it. If you are stuck in your head, we find ways back into your body, gently, at your pace.
I do not follow a script. Every session responds to where you are that day.
Who I Work With
I work with adults dealing with anxiety, complex trauma, depersonalization and derealization (DPDR), and the emotional weight of living far from home. Many of my clients are expats, third-culture adults, or people who have relocated and lost their support network in the process.
I also work with people stuck in relationship patterns they cannot break, people carrying grief or loss they have never properly addressed, and people who feel disconnected from themselves or their lives in ways they struggle to put into words.
I also offer structured relationship clarity sessions for couples who need to understand whether repair or separation is the honest next step.
All sessions are audio-only. No camera, no video, no waiting room. Just a phone call or secure audio connection. Most clients tell me they say things on the phone they would never say on camera.
“I almost didn't book because I kept telling myself my problems weren't 'serious enough' for therapy. I was just stressed about my postgrad, overthinking my relationship, drinking a bit too much on weekends. Tidal helped me see that the overthinking wasn't just a bad habit. It was how I'd learned to avoid actually feeling anything. Several months later I'm finishing my research and I'm in a relationship where I don't constantly wait for the other shoe to drop. I wish I hadn't waited so long.”
