What Therapy Looks Like

As an adult in this world, you’ve lived.

You’ve loved, lost, powered through, numbed out, broken down, and kept going anyway. Those experiences didn’t just shape your story. They’ve shaped how you think, feel, relate, and protect yourself.

Therapy with me is a place to get curious about that — and gently unlearn what no longer serves you. Not just to understand yourself better, but to actually feel better.

The first few sessions are about orienting to one another because the most powerful part of therapy is the relationship itself.

You need to feel safe, seen, and understood. And I need to get a sense of how you see the world.

We’ll talk about the experiences, relationships, and messages that shaped you — the ones that taught you how to feel, think, protect yourself, and survive.

Once we’ve built that foundation, we’ll start noticing what’s still playing out.

The patterns.

The parts of you that show up under stress.

The ways you disconnect, appease, overfunction, shut down, or keep the peace at your own expense.

And then? We work with it.

Not by throwing solutions at you — but by helping you relate to yourself in a new way. With more honesty. More softness. And way more power.

This work isn’t about becoming a “better” version of yourself.

It’s about returning to who you were before the world told you who to be.

It’s about clearing out the noise, healing the hurt, and learning to live from a place that actually feels like you.

And, therapy isn’t meant to be forever. When we work together, we go deep. Not fast, but focused. At your pace, with intention, and always with the goal of helping you take what you’re learning in session and actually apply it to your life.

My ultimate hope is that you leave therapy with a stronger sense of self, the ability to handle life with more clarity and steadiness — and the confidence that you know how to take care of yourself now.
