I believe that reaching out for therapy can be difficult, especially when you're already feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about where to begin. I want my clients to know that they will be met with respect, understanding, and without judgment. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin wherever you are and work together from there.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to help clients understand patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, strengthen coping skills, and work toward goals that matter to them.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about your current concerns, your goals, and what you would like to be different in your life.
You don't need to know exactly what to say or have a clear plan before our first session. I'll guide the conversation, answer any questions you may have, and work with you to identify where we can begin. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer idea of the next steps we can take together.
