What do sessions look like?
How sessions unfold will depend on you and your individual process. Some clients opt for more counseling-oriented sessions, others work primarily with touch and bodywork, and many clients find the best support in a hybrid model of both processing and touch.
We start with an intake session where I get a deeper sense of you, your history and desires. From there we collaborate to meet you with experiences and processes that are most supportive to you. I pull from my "medicine basket" of tools, as well as my experience and intuition, to offer you possibilities. I invite your empowered choice and wisdom along the way about what feels right for you.

How long do you usually see people/ how many sessions will it take?
Some people come to me for a series of 3-6 sessions to work through a specific concern or goal, while others see me for ongoing long-term support. The work I do is process-oriented and relationship-based, so I rarely work with people in a single session. I support clients for as long as it feels beneficial to them and many clients have worked with me for years.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
All of the work I do is in-person at my studio in inner NE Portland, Oregon. My professional experience has been that in-person sessions are more effective for somatic and relational work. I offer consultations online if you are not local to the Portland area but considering traveling in the future to work with me in the future.
How often should I come for sessions?
Because this work is rooted in safety and trust, I recommend that your first 2-3 sessions be spaced out no more than two weeks from each other. From there we can determine the pace session by session as your process unfolds. I don't have specific time slots for people so scheduling can be flexible and organic.
Do you work with couples?
I am currently focusing on individual work.
What is the cost?
Sessions range from 150-200 per hour depending on whether you go session by session or choose a package. Check out my process and pricing page to explore all of the options. I am dedicated to making this work accessible so if those numbers feel daunting, let's talk. I offer a generous sliding scale and/or payment plans to those who need it to make working with me possible.
