Healing Through Therapy

No, my practice is inclusive and welcoming to all. I work with people of all genders, including men, non-binary, and transgender individuals.

My clients are usually 16 and older and people from all minority groups.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected.

Absolutely! It's totally normal to feel nervous about starting therapy. Talking about feelings can be tough, and the fear around it can feel overwhelming. Just by reading this, you're already taking a step in the right direction. Therapy with me is a space where you can be yourself, including feeling nervous. I'm committed to making our sessions as comfortable as possible and am here to talk about it during a free phone consultation if you'd like.

Take your time to explore my website. If you feel a connection based on what you read, you can email me to schedule a free phone consultation. During this call, you can ask me about my experience, what it's like to work with me, or any other questions you have. The first few sessions are like an experiment to see how things go. It's important that you find someone who feels like the right fit for you, and we can explore that together.

It's natural to avoid discussing painful or difficult topics. In our sessions, you are never obligated to talk about anything you're not ready to share. My job is to give you space to work through tough issues at your own pace. If you're nervous about opening up, we can talk about that too. Whatever you're going through, bring it to your session, and we can explore it together.

If you open up to me, I will see you as courageous and human. Many clients fear that their experiences might not be believed, but I assure you that your feelings are valid. Nothing you say will cause me to judge you. We all struggle and have our strengths and weaknesses. Whatever you're going through, I provide a comfortable space where I will listen and support you fully.

The duration of therapy varies for each client. On average, new clients start seeing improvements after the first 3-4 sessions, feeling more calm and hopeful. Some clients find 6-12 weeks sufficient for gaining insights into their challenges, while others prefer longer-term therapy. We'll work together to find the length of time that works best for you. I do not believe in a one-size fits all approach to therapy.

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. Unless you are in danger or someone else is, everything you share with me remains confidential. I highly respect your privacy and value your trust. If you have specific questions about how confidentiality works, feel free to ask during your free phone consultation or at any time during our work together.

The first session is a free-flowing conversation where we start getting to know each other. I’ll invite you to share more about yourself and discuss what has worked or not worked for your mental health in the past. I might ask questions like:

- What brought you to therapy?

- Have you gone to therapy before? How did that go?

- What goals would you like to reach by going to therapy?

You can also ask me questions, such as why I became a therapist or how I've helped other clients. The goal is to see if you feel safe, accepted, and comfortable with me. If you do, we can discuss meeting again.

Let's discover how I can help you! Reach out for your free phone consultation. During our call, we can get to know each other and see if we're a good fit. You can share a bit about what's going on and what you're looking for. This is also a great time to ask me any questions about working with me, why I became a therapist, how I can help, or anything else that's on your mind.
