Your Journey Begins Here

Taking the first step toward healing takes courage. We're honored you're here.

In the next few moments, we'll guide you through what therapy is, what you can expect, and how we can support you on your path to wellness.

What is Therapy?

Therapy is a collaborative partnership between you and a trained professional, designed to help you navigate life's challenges, understand yourself more deeply, and develop tools for lasting well-being.

A Safe Space

Therapy provides a confidential, non-judgmental environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly. There's no topic too big or too small to explore.

Not Just for Crisis

While therapy can certainly help during difficult times, it's also valuable for personal growth, self-discovery, and building resilience before challenges arise.

A Collaborative Process

You are the expert on your own life. Together, we'll work as partners to identify your goals, explore your experiences, and develop strategies that work for you.

What to Expect

Your First Session

The first session is all about getting to know each other. We'll discuss what brought you to therapy, your background, and what you hope to achieve. This is also your opportunity to ask questions and see if we're a good fit.

  • Share your story at your own pace
  • Discuss your goals and hopes for therapy
  • Learn about my approach and ask questions
  • Begin building our therapeutic relationship

Ongoing Sessions

After our initial meeting, we'll develop a rhythm that works for you. Most clients meet weekly or bi-weekly, though this can be adjusted based on your needs and progress.

  • Explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns
  • Learn and practice new coping strategies
  • Work through challenges as they arise
  • Celebrate progress and growth together
