I am currently full, but join the waitlist!

As a medium-term therapist, I work with clients 30-40 sessions (8-10 months) weekly before they reach their desired goal.

As a result, spots open up every 2-3 months (weekday business hours spots open sooner, whereas 4-6pm spots take longer to open up).

Through this waitlist newsletter…

I announce any new openings
You’ll receive weekly blog posts of topics I actually use in session. Get a head start in doing therapy-ish work and save yourself many sessions!

The BIG Feelings Masterclass

Can't wait any longer to deal with your BIG feelings but waiting for a spot to open?

Want to work with me but my sessions are out of your budget?

Check out my 1-hour video workshop, where I cover the how-tos I ACTUALLY share with clients (and for 1/6 the cost of a single session)!

If we start doing therapy or coaching together down the line, you can just jump right into the topics you need extra boost in.

You probably know the bucket list—it’s that list of things you want to do before you “kick the bucket.”

We’re all familiar with it, but most people don’t check off their bucket list items. Those goals are FAR-OFF,

Should I wait or contact another therapist?

Although you are welcome to still sign up for the Therapy Starter Kit newsletter for the weekly resources, here are some reasons why it might be better for you to reach out to another therapist rather than waiting to work with me:

You have a life-threatening emergency. (Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.)
You’re experiencing a crisis in your life circumstances, such as a sudden job loss.
Your relationship is in crisis and you want to fix it.
You don’t know why you’re reaching out for therapy.
You are unsure of what you’d like to see change in your life.
You can’t meet on a regular weekly basis either because of availability or finances (my fee is $280 per session).
You need a therapist who takes your insurance.
