What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

I am questioned often "how and why did you choose to become a therapist?" Short answer ?I love people, and I love to see the change." I love being a therapist because I get to witness real, lasting change in people?s lives. From the very first session, I?m struck by the courage it takes to share your story?and I feel honored each time a client entrusts me with their hopes, challenges, and dreams. My passion for human connection means I create a warm, empathetic space where you can fully express yourself without fear of judgment.
Whether you?re working through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or a major life transition, I thrive on partnering with you to set goals, overcome obstacles, and celebrate progress. Helping you discover your strengths and build resilience isn?t just my job?it?s what I love to do every day.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

You aren't alone. I have a lot of new clients who have shared they have never been to therapy and I try my best to make sure their first experience is a pleasurable one along with a learning experience for them. My clients would share that I reassure them and calm their nerves within a few minutes of our first session. I hope I get the chance to show you that as well. Therapy can help you find peace, comfort, a time for you to express yourself and be able to move forward with your life in a more positive direction.

I am here to try to help you understand yourself better and how to deal with the thing we all call LIFE.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

It?s completely normal to feel uncertain about starting therapy. Here?s what I often share with new clients to ease their minds:
Therapy Is a Collaborative Journey. You?re in the driver?s seat. We set the pace together, choose goals you care about, and adjust our work as you grow.
There?s no ?one right answer??our sessions are a conversation, tailored to your needs.
Confidentiality & Safety First- Everything you share stays between us, with only a few rare, legally required exceptions (which I?ll always explain up front).
I cultivate a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can speak freely.
Small Steps, Big Impact - Therapy isn?t about solving everything at once. We focus on one concern at a time, celebrating even minor breakthroughs. 1% of change is all you need.
