Frequently Asked Questions
General Therapy
How do I know if therapy is the right step for me?
You don’t have to hold the world up on your own. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, restless, or coping with a relational dynamic that is no longer working, therapy can help. Many people seek therapy not because something is wrong, but because they want more clarity, connection, or ease in their lives or relationships. Therapy can also be helpful if you and your partner feel disconnected or stuck in recurring conflict, or if ADHD is affecting your daily life. If you are navigating a life transition or feeling unsure about what comes next, therapy can offer the space to slow down, gain insight, and make intentional changes.
What does the beginning of therapy usually look like?
At the beginning of therapy, the focus is on getting to know you and what brings you in. Early sessions explore your history, relationships, and current challenges, along with what you hope might change. This initial phase is about building trust, holding space, gaining clarity, and identifying a path forward that feels supportive and practical.
Individual Therapy
What is individual therapy like from session to session?
Individual therapy is a collaborative, ongoing conversation that unfolds over time rather than a rigid or scripted process. Sessions often include space to talk about what feels most present for you that week, alongside noticing patterns, relational dynamics, or emotional themes that may be shaping your experience. Some sessions may feel reflective and exploratory, while others are more focused on understanding specific challenges or experimenting with new ways of responding. The pace and direction of therapy are guided by your needs, with room for both depth and practicality as trust and clarity develop.
Do I need a specific goal to start?
You do not need a specific or clearly defined goal to begin therapy. Many people start with a general sense of restlessness, dissatisfaction, or feeling stuck rather than a concrete problem to solve. Therapy offers a space to slow down and become curious about what is happening beneath the surface, including the emotional, relational, and lifestyle factors contributing to how you feel. Therapy goals often emerge naturally through the process, and together we can shape the work in a way that feels meaningful and supportive rather than pressured or prescriptive.
Couples Therapy
What can I expect from couples therapy?
Couples therapy usually begins with a session together, followed by one individual session for each partner. This helps explore each person’s experiences, patterns, and how their history influences current relationship dynamics. From there, sessions focus on the dynamic between partners and how current situations affect interactions. The work emphasizes building connection, trust, and resilience while navigating harder conversations with collaboration, curiosity, and even humor when it feels right. Practical skills for communication and emotional understanding, including approaches drawn from the Gottman method, are offered to strengthen the relationship over time.
Will couples therapy make us relive our arguments?
Couples therapy is not just about addressing conflict. While understanding recurring arguments can be helpful, an important part of the work is building relationship strengths, emotional connection, and resilience. It is natural for couples to grow apart over time due to stress, life transitions, or changing roles, and therapy offers space to intentionally reconnect. By strengthening trust, communication, and emotional safety, couples are better supported in having harder conversations in ways that feel more grounded and constructive.
Will my couples therapist take sides?
Couples therapy is a safe, supportive space where both partners are heard and cared for. Therapy focuses on strengthening connection, improving communication, and building resilience. The dynamic between partners is explored, and each person may be invited to take personal accountability in a non-judgmental way. Sessions are about reconnecting and navigating challenges together, not assigning blame.
Groups & Workshops
What can I expect from your ADHD support group?
ADHD group work provides a safe, supportive space to connect with others who understand similar challenges. Sessions focus on sharing experiences, validation, and building camaraderie, helping participants feel seen and understood. The group offers emotional support and encouragement while exploring ways to navigate daily life in a collaborative, non-judgmental environment.
What types of workshops do you offer?
How can I figure out the dream behind my restless feelings?
Workshops include programs for expectant parents based on the Gottman Bringing Baby Home method, vision board events for groups or corporate environments, and experiential workshops based on my book Restless: How to Stop Living an If-Only Life. All offerings are customized to the setting and audience, whether held in-person or virtually, and are designed to support connection, reflection, and meaningful change.
Restless: The Book
What inspired you to write Restless?
This book was inspired by years of clinical work and reflection on how common feelings of restlessness and longing can be, even during times of stability or success. It was also shaped by my own experience of restlessness. I know how normal it is to wonder if life might be better elsewhere, and how these thoughts can reflect a natural, growth-oriented part of yourself. The results of my research, observations, and personal inquiry are recorded in the pages of this book. I want to share the wisdom I have accrued so that you, too, can learn more about yourself, listen to the wisdom behind your restlessness, and find contentment along the path you are traveling today.
Who is this book meant for?
Restless is for people who feel a persistent sense of longing, dissatisfaction, or questioning, even when life looks “good” on the outside. It speaks to those navigating life transitions, uncertainty, or a quiet feeling that something is missing but hard to name. This book is especially for people who are thoughtful, self-reflective, and curious about how to live with more presence, meaning, and intention, rather than constantly searching for what might come next.
Restlessness often appears when too many unrealized dreams linger under the surface. This free assessment is meant to help you uncover the dream beneath your restless feelings.
