Reading this means you've already made a big step in showing up for yourself. If you've been holding it all together on your own, know that you don't have to. Whether you've struggled with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship issues, family conflict, low self esteem, or loss, I'm here to support you. Maybe this is your first time seeking therapy, or you've had some experiences with therapy in the past. However you're showing up, I'm here to balance guidance and collaboration to explore what therapy with me can add to your life.
I believe that healing occurs through a space where we feel seen and supported. In my practice, I prioritize building a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic, safe, and collaborative rather than clinical and prescriptive. Compassion, empathy, and attunement are the foundations of how I show up in session.
If you're feeling unsure of how to start, I want you to know that you can show up however you need to. In the first session, I balance guiding you and allowing you space to explore, going at your pace always.
