YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOUR NEXT THERAPY SESSION TO FEEL SUPPORTED EXPLORE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER →
The Work Doesn’t Pause When the Session Ends
The patterns we explore in therapy don’t wait for our appointments.
A conversation you’ve been dreading is suddenly scheduled for tomorrow.
Someone asks something of you, and you feel that familiar pressure to say yes.
An unexpected interaction leaves you anxious, frustrated, or questioning yourself.
You recognize that something important is happening, but your next appointment is still days away. Sometimes, a little support in that moment can help.
A Small, Steady Line of Communication
It’s not another therapy session. It’s a brief opportunity to receive thoughtful guidance when something comes up in the life you’re actually living.
When something comes up, you send a brief message through our secure client messaging platform: what’s happening, what you’re noticing, and what support you want.
I may respond with a reflective question, a different perspective, a brief suggestion, or a personalized practice.
When You Might Reach Out
A difficult conversation is coming
Explore what comes up when you imagine setting a boundary.
Preparing for something stressful

A familiar pattern is returning
Overworking, people-pleasing, or shutting down.
You need another perspective
A thoughtful question to break repetitive thinking.
You want practice for the moment

Ask at your next session
What You Can Expect
1
You reach out
Send a request whenever a need arises.
2
I respond
Within one business day, Monday through Friday.
3
One focused exchange
Not an ongoing chat throughout the day.
4
Bigger needs, bigger space
If it needs more, we bring it to a session.
Messages aren’t monitored continuously, and responses aren’t available on weekends or practice closure days. That keeps the boundaries clear and reliable.
What It Helps You Do
-
Recognize patterns as they’re happening.
-
Approach challenges with greater intention.
-
Reconnect with your own capacity.
-
Explore a different perspective.
-
Respond rather than react.
The goal isn’t to depend on having someone available. It’s to strengthen your ability to recognize what’s happening and make choices that reflect your needs.
Your life is where those possibilities are practiced.
What It Is and What It Isn’t
Not for emergencies. Messages aren’t continuously monitored. In an emergency, call 911. For a mental health crisis in the US, call or text 988.
What it is
-
Brief, personalized guidance for a specific concern.
-
Support anticipating or navigating a challenging situation.
-
Reflection and practical somatic or mindfulness suggestions.
-
An optional resource for existing therapy clients.
What it isn’t
-
An additional therapy session.
-
Unlimited messaging or real-time coaching.
-
A way to have decisions made for you.
-
Something you need to use every week.
Is Between-Session Support Right for You?
You’re in individual therapy with me
You can spot meaningful moments
You’re comfortable writing a concise message
You can wait up to one business day
It works best when you want occasional guidance that strengthens your independence, not ongoing reassurance.
Another approach may help if you need frequent, extensive conversations (a scheduled session fits better), want continuous or real-time availability, or aren’t currently in individual therapy with me.

Frequently Asked Questions
Support for the Moments That Matter
Sometimes what you need isn’t another hour of therapy. It’s a thoughtful reflection before a difficult conversation, or a brief practice when you notice yourself becoming overwhelmed.
If you’re a current client and would like to explore this option, we can discuss it during your next session.
Available as an optional add-on for current individual therapy clients in California.
