People often come to therapy when something no longer feels quite right—after a painful loss, a major life change, or simply that quiet sense that something has to shift. That awareness itself is already a beginning. It means some part of you is ready to step into the work of therapy.

Therapy can bring real relief, sometimes quickly. But more often, meaningful change is a slower unfolding—full of uncertainty, challenge, and surprise. The good news is you don’t have to walk through that alone. My role is to sit with you in the harder places, but also to notice and celebrate the new openings that emerge: more freedom in your relationships, a softer way of being with yourself, or the courage to imagine possibilities you hadn’t let yourself consider.

Often what causes the most pain isn’t fully visible at first. Together, we’ll listen for what’s underneath—patterns and repetitions that may show up in your life, and even between us in the therapy room. Paying attention to these subtle moments can spark unexpected insight: why the same struggles keep returning, how old wounds are carried into the present, and where there is room to grow.

Therapy at its best isn’t just about “fixing problems”—it’s about discovering new ways of living, relating, and creating a life that feels more authentically yours.
