Welcome to Therapy, Let's Chat.

My initial goal is for therapy to feel like you're in a space where it's easy to talk about hard things. Therapy is only as good as the relationship between you and I. I often describe myself as a pretty casual therapist who works on not-so-casual issues. I hope our work together feels like a conversation rather than an assessment of problems. As a support for you I try to make you feel listened to and safe to share, first and foremost. Likely, along the way we will probably laugh, because I try to find joy and levity, even in dark things.
​
My approach is direct, warm, and rooted in my strong belief that you as a client have the ability to make the necessary changes and deal with really hard things. What this looks like in practice is that I will be asking you a lot of questions at first, noticing and highlighting emotional and thought patterns that may be getting in your way, discovering together where these patterns came from, and most importantly, supporting concrete ways you can make meaningful changes to more successfully navigating the hard things in your life or past. Therapy will be hard, and it will be rewarding. And above all else, it should feel safe.
