“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” ―Chinese Proverb
I believe the same can be said about taking steps toward achieving your best self. Set aside any feelings of what you wish you could have done in the past and feel good knowing you are taking your first steps today.
I strive to take a holistic approach to my work, because I know there are many things that make you uniquely you, and that no two people are alike. Whatever brought you here today, whether it be feelings of anxiousness, overwhelming sadness, burnout, or any mix of emotions, I am happy you found us.
Before finding myself in this role as a therapist, I worked as an administrator at clinics much like this, spending countless phone calls setting clients up for their first contact with their new therapist. I know that taking these first steps and sending that email or making that first phone call can feel like an impossible task, but I am so happy you’re taking these first steps. I also know that once you hit send or end the call, it feels like a weight has been lifted.
Now, I have the privilege of helping clients not only at their first step, but throughout their journey as well. I would love the opportunity to get to know you better, and to walk with you alongside this journey.
My goal is to provide whoever walks through the door a safe, comfortable, supportive environment. I hope with me you can feel comfortable enough to speak your truth and be your authentic self, knowing that I will listen without judgement.
Embracing the journey of self-discovery and transformation is a privilege I wholeheartedly look forward to sharing with you. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to walk alongside you on your path toward healing and growth.
Let's embark on this collaborative and empowering journey together.
