There are so many ‘best’ parts of therapy, it is hard to pick just one. A favorite, however, is watching a client really dig deep into the work, allow themselves to be vulnerable and real and open, and transform in the process. To watch a client become who and what they wanted to be, after being fearful or doubtful of their potential, is truly unrivaled.

First I would acknowledge that it is completely normal to feel ambivalent about starting therapy for the first time. I would offer assurance that therapy provides a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space. In this space, you can talk about any issue you need or feel ready to disclose, and at the pace that feels right to you. I’d like to assure you that our time together is entirely dedicated to supporting you, however that might look.

I have always known that I wanted to become a therapist because, quite simply, I am deeply passionate about supporting others through their process of change. There is tremendous beauty and bravery involved in each individuals’ personal transformation.

I believe it is an honor to be entrusted by another person with their most private concerns and vulnerable expressions and an equal privilege, in turn, to help that person connect to their truth, and manifest it forward with meaningful and fulfilling changes within themselves. As a therapist, I am devoted to this work and I look forward to supporting you in the same way.
