My Approach to Therapy
You dont need to have a specific goal to start therapy. You might just be tired of pretending youre fine. You might want to stop spiraling at 2AM, or to figure out why the smallest things feel so overwhelming. Youre not brokenyoure burnt out, probably overthinking, and definitely doing your best. Lets work from there.
My Practice & Services
Lets be honest: change is hardeven when its good. Whether you're starting college, navigating early adulthood, managing relationships, or facing big questions about who you are and what you want, life doesnt come with a user manual. Therapy can be the space where you figure things outwithout judgment, pressure, or weird lighting.
My Therapy Focus
I use a Humanistic, Person-Centered approach- meaning therapy is about you. In our first session we will explore what brought you here, what changes you want to make, and how we can get there. Together, we will focus on building on your strengths to help you navigate life's twists and turns more effectively.
