MY PROCESS
My Therapy Process in Iowa City
Starting therapy is easier when you know what to expect. Here is how we work together, from the first conversation to lasting change.
Free · 15 Minutes
Free Consultation
We answer your initial questions and feel out whether we are a good fit. I keep consultations casual and open, because the part of therapy I find most powerful is authentic human connection.
$150 · 53-minute sessions
Psychotherapy Sessions
We meet regularly, usually weekly, to work through your emotional challenges. I look forward to walking alongside your unique journey.
THE STAGES OF YOUR TRANSFORMATION
Three phases, at a pace that respects your work
The Foundation
We build coping skills and healthier habits, develop rapport, gather your history, and form an action plan that fits your needs.
The Transformation
We gently take apart the shame-based stories you carry and work to heal emotional pain, drawing on EMDR, Ego-State Therapy, NARM, and DBT.
The Forever After
We put structures in place to protect your work. Once you are a client here, you are always a client here. My door stays open.
