My approach is pretty straightforward: I take you seriously, I won’t judge you, and I focus on what’s actually useful.
I believe everyone, no matter how messy the situation, deserves real support and respect. That’s not just a philosophy for me, it’s how every session runs. You can say the thing you haven’t said out loud yet. We’ll work with it.
If the idea of starting therapy makes you nervous, that makes complete sense. In our first session, I’ll do a lot of listening and a lot of asking. I want to understand your whole story before we start building anything.
From there, we build. I’ll introduce tools from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, and we’ll actually practice them together in session, so you’re not going home with a concept. You’re going home with something you can use.
If you’ve been telling yourself you’re fine for a while now, maybe it’s time to talk to someone who’ll take that seriously.
