What Drew Me to Becoming a Therapist

Since the time I was very young, I have always been captivated by the challenges and complexities of the human experience. As a fellow human and a therapist, I am always seeking to learn more about how to manage overwhelming emotions, tragic/traumatic events, and the challenges of relationships. I love doing therapeutic work because I am able to bear witness daily to the amazing capacity humans have to heal, grow, and demonstrate courage in even the most challenging circumstances.

What to Expect in Your First Session

I know how nerve-wracking it can be to start therapy with someone new. When we first begin, I just want to get to know you better and understand exactly why you are seeking out therapy. I seek to develop a collaborative relationship that is centered on your individual needs for safety, validation, and support. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and what you truly need, and my role is to support you in discovering that innate wisdom. From there, I will explain the outline of some of my therapeutic values and frameworks and we can begin to explore how I can best tailor my approach to you. Together, we will start to explore what indicators we can use to assess whether our time together is effective. We will refer to these touchpoints throughout your counseling to ensure that our time together is meeting your needs.
