About

Many of my clients arrive because they were referred by a professional or because a friend or family member recommended this work. However you got here, the next step is yours to set. A lot of the people I work with arrive feeling sad or feeling unhappy in a way that's hard to name. Sometimes the days feel empty or numb, and even getting to a session feels like effort. We start small and build from there, with no expectation that you arrive ready. If this is your first time in therapy, or you've been considering therapy for a while and finally feel ready, I want you to know there's no right way to do this. We'll go at your pace, and I'll explain anything that feels opaque about how the process works. Many of my clients describe feeling lonely, feeling alone, or feeling isolated even when they're surrounded by people. Therapy can be one of the first places where being fully seen becomes possible, and that often loosens something on its own.
