Reaching out to begin therapy can be both overwhelming and a hopeful time to begin something new. A time to create change in your relationships, work functioning, or day to day life. I take a holistic approach to therapy work and seek to understand each person within their environment, which allows us to work collaboratively on changes that feel attainable and sustainable. I like to start a session by offering a cup of coffee (or drink of your choice!) and sit down in open conversation steered by your needs at that moment. Laughter, tears, grief, and joy are some of the many welcomed and honored emotions in the therapeutic space.
