About Therapy

I remember being scared to death…

It was the first day of middle school.

I was standing there in my room. I could feel my heart beating in my ears, and my limbs were so heavy I couldn’t even move.

“I’m not going.” I don’t remember everything I said to my mom that morning, but I remember saying that. And I remember that sinking expression she had on her face. She knew I was petrified.

You might feel the same way right now.

Many who come to therapy are anxious as they walk into my office for the first time.

They’re embarrassed about their “shortcomings” or how they haven’t been able to manage their relationships.

That’s understandable. After all, you’re coming to me out of pain or frustration. It’s natural to be apprehensive about how you’ll be received.

And you probably have doubts, too. You want to make a change in your life that you haven’t been able to do on your own. Will this time be any different?

Let me put your mind at ease…

When you come to therapy, I’ll meet you with a caring, kind, and confident curiosity.

I am eager to find out about you. I want to know the pattern you’re stuck in. I want to know the emotions that drive these patterns. I want to know the things about you that your partner, child, or parent misses.

I invest myself in making sure you feel both safe and understood in these first few sessions. Within the first session or two, your muscles will start to relax as you realize you now have a teammate who has walked this path before.

I understand this process is hard.

But I’m here for you. I’ll support and encourage you every step of the way.

It would be a privilege to walk beside you during this painful or uncertain time in your life.

You can do this!
