What Drew Me to Becoming a Therapist

I did not come to therapy by a straight line. Before this work, I spent years in the arts, music, education, and community life, and lived and worked across different cultures. I kept seeing how much can change when people have room to be honest, make meaning of what they have lived through, and decide for themselves what comes next. My clinical work in community, mental health, addiction recovery, integrated care, and outpatient therapy made that calling concrete. I became a therapist to offer a grounded, direct relationship where people can hear themselves more clearly and build the life they want to be living.

What to Expect in Your First Session

The first session is a chance for us to slow things down and get a clearer picture of what brings you in, what has stopped working, and what you would like to be different. You do not need to tell your whole story at once. I'll ask questions, explain how I work, and make room for your questions too. We'll begin identifying what matters most and what might be useful right away. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, a little less alone with it, and clearer about what our next step could be.
