What Drew Me to Becoming a Therapist

Since childhood, I've found myself drawn to the richness and complexity of people's inner worlds. While this passion eventually became my career, it's also simply part of who I am. As a therapist, I feel deeply honored to walk alongside others who are exploring resilience, relationships, loss, and the many ways that we, as humans, grow through profoundly complex experiences. To me, it is an incredible privilege to witness others rediscover their strengths and move toward the lives that feel uniquely authentic, connected, and fulfilling to them.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Beginning therapy can feel like a lot, so my goal is to make it more approachable. There's no pressure to dive into the hard stuff or share anything you're not ready to. Instead, we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable, spending time getting to know each other, talking about your goals, what you're hoping for, and how I can best support you. You are the expert on you. Mostly, I want you to leave our first session with greater clarity, a sense of direction, and confidence that you won't have to navigate this journey alone.
