Introduction

Welcome to the first step in your therapy journey. I have been working as a therapist for the past 5 years in a variety of settings. The scope of work I have done has included children, teenagers, adults, and families. Therapy is a journey, sometimes it takes a couple of appointments to feel grounded. I encourage clients to communicate preferences and needs throughout the therapy process, so the space remains yours to have for support and guidance. When we have self-judgments and criticism, it can make moving through life harder. If you're ready to take the second step in your process, feel free to outreach regarding my availability. Looking forward to connecting.
