My Approach to Helping
When you’re searching for a therapist, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. Maybe you’re navigating stress, self-doubt, or emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone. Therapy can provide a space to step back, gain clarity, and begin making sense of what you’re going through. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Sometimes, the first step is simply allowing yourself to be heard.
In therapy, you can expect a thoughtful and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, gain deeper self-awareness, and develop strategies to manage challenges. My approach is insight-driven and reflective, helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck while also providing tools to help you move forward. Sessions are a balance of open exploration and practical guidance, shaped around your unique needs and goals.
Therapy is a process, and everyone’s journey looks different. Some people come in wanting to work through a specific challenge, while others are looking for a space to process and gain insight over time. Whatever brings you here, we’ll work together in a way that feels helpful to you. If you’re considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?
Thinking about therapy but unsure if it is the right step? You are not alone. Many people wonder if their struggles are ?big enough? or if therapy will actually help. The truth is, therapy is not just for crisis moments. It is a space to gain clarity, process emotions, and explore ways to move forward, no matter where you are in your journey.
Starting therapy does not mean committing to years of sessions. Some people find short-term support helpful, while others prefer ongoing self-exploration. You do not have to know exactly what you need before reaching out. Therapy is a process of discovery, and you can take it at your own pace. If you are unsure, I welcome you to reach out with any questions.
Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. Therapy is most effective when you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. A good therapist is not just someone with the right credentials, but someone you connect with and feel safe opening up to.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and insight-driven. I focus on helping clients understand patterns in their lives, gain clarity, and explore ways to move forward. Some people prefer a more structured approach with clear strategies, while others want a space to process and reflect. We will tailor therapy to what works best for you.
If you are considering therapy, I welcome you to reach out. It is okay to explore your options and take your time in finding the right fit. I am happy to answer any questions and help you decide if working together feels right for you.
Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed
Many people hesitate to seek therapy because they worry it means they are weak, broken, or incapable of handling life on their own. But the truth is, therapy isn?t about weakness. It is about self-awareness, growth, and taking control of your life. It takes strength to recognize when you need support and to take the steps toward change.
Therapy is not about labeling you or telling you what is wrong. It is about creating a space where you can process emotions, understand patterns in your life, and develop tools to navigate challenges more effectively. Everyone, no matter how strong or successful, faces struggles. Seeking therapy is simply choosing to face those struggles with curiosity and intention rather than avoidance or self-criticism.
If you have ever felt hesitant about starting therapy, I encourage you to give yourself permission to explore it. Therapy is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It is about helping you gain insight, develop new perspectives, and move toward the life you want to live.
