PsychotheraPy sessions
Philosophy In Practice
At Seasons of Change, therapy is both gentle and firm, rooted in real conversation, reflection, and intentional growth.
My approach honors your lived experience and the ways trauma, culture, and systems shape your story while centering your capacity for healing and change.
Humor and authenticity are woven throughout our work to create a space that feels human, transformative, and deeply restorative. Each session is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward lasting clarity and steadiness.
Modalities in practice
When asked, “What kind of therapy do you provide?” the answer is always the same: deeply personalized.
Therapy with me is insight-oriented and grounded in meaningful dialogue. I’m not the “smile and nod” kind of therapist. You can expect curiosity, gentle challenge, and a space that invites both reflection and growth.
My work draws from Psychodynamic, Relational-Cultural, Emotion-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution-Focused approaches, woven together to meet your individual needs.
Together, we’ll craft a plan that feels intentional and true to you rather than a “one size fits most” model. Together we will cultivate a dynamic process that feels both restorative and transformative.
Psychotherapy FAQs
-
Why should I choose therapy over coaching?
It's not about choosing one over the other, but understanding when therapy might be more appropriate for your needs. Therapy is particularly helpful if you are seeking clinical guidance or are working to address mental health concerns. It is ideal for more complex needs, such as obtaining therapy letters for clearance for gender-affirming care and other clinical documentation.
Therapy and coaching can also work in tandem. While therapy focuses on mental health, coaching addresses different realms of wellness, practical goals, and personal development. Integrating both can provide comprehensive support for your overall well-being.
