Great to meet you!

Welcome! I'm Bailey, a licensed therapist dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth. I bring a fresh perspective to the field, influenced by my background growing up in a blended cultural household. I believe that our diverse experiences shape who we are, and I’m committed to helping clients navigate their own unique journeys.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapy approach emphasizes collaboration, recognizing you as the expert of your own life. I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment that invites you to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. By prioritizing active listening and open communication, I aim to ensure you feel understood and valued. With genuine interest and commitment to your journey, I strive to help you build the confidence and tools necessary to navigate challenges and support your personal growth.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you can expect to gain insight into yourself and your experiences. You’ll develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts and emotions, along with practical coping strategies tailored to your needs. My goal is to empower you to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience, fostering personal growth and healing. Together, we’ll explore what brings you joy and fulfillment, equipping you with tools to continue your journey of self-discovery long after our work together.
