About

In our first session you will do most of the talking and none of the performing. I will ask careful questions, take real notes, and by the end we will have named one place to start. People often tell me the hour goes faster than they expected. I spent several years in healthcare administration before returning to clinical work, and I came back certain this is where I belong. If spiraling thoughts can take over a whole evening, you are exactly the kind of client I trained to help. Feeling stretched thin has become so normalized that many people no longer notice it; we will notice it together. My approach is cognitive behavioral, practical by design and adjusted to fit your actual life. Everything we discuss becomes actionable, because encouragement on its own never moved a needle. I offer quiet consistency rather than cheerleading, and my clients seem to prefer it. Progress here is steady and cumulative rather than sudden, and I will notice your wins even when you dismiss them. If starting feels daunting, let the first step be small: just say hello.
