Getting Started with Therapy
Taking the first step toward therapy is both courageous and meaningful. Whether you're facing a specific challenge, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking deeper understanding of yourself or your relationships, you're making an investment in your well-being that can create lasting positive change.
You're Not Alone in This
It's completely normal to feel nervous, curious, or uncertain about starting therapy. Many people wonder: What will it be like? What should I expect? How do I prepare? These questions show that you're taking this process seriously, and that's exactly the kind of intention that makes therapy most effective.
Every Journey is Unique
Therapy isn't a one-size-fits-all experience. Your path will be shaped by your unique circumstances, goals, and the kind of support that feels most helpful to you. That's why I offer both individual and couples therapy, each designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Choose Your Path
Individual Therapy
For personal growth, life transitions, and individual challenges
Individual therapy provides a confidential space for you to explore your inner world, process difficult experiences, and develop new ways of understanding yourself and your relationships with others.
Common reasons people seek individual therapy:
Life transitions (career changes, aging, loss, major decisions)
Grief and loss of all kinds
Anxiety, depression, or overwhelming emotions
Menopause and midlife challenges
Relationship patterns and family dynamics
Personal growth and self-discovery
Couples Therapy
For strengthening relationships and navigating challenges together
Couples therapy offers a supportive environment where both partners can be heard, understood, and work together to create the relationship they want. It's not just for relationships in crisis—many couples use therapy to deepen their connection and navigate major life changes together.
Common reasons couples seek therapy:
Communication difficulties and recurring conflicts
Major life transitions (parenthood, career changes, aging parents)
Grief and loss that affects the relationship
Intimacy and connection concerns
Life changes that create stress on the partnership
Wanting to strengthen an already good relationship
My Approach: Relational and Compassionate
Regardless of whether you choose individual or couples therapy, my approach remains grounded in the belief that healing happens in relationship—with yourself, with others, and with the larger world around you. I create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore, grow, and discover your own path forward.
