Do You Feel Stuck, Burnt Out, or Disconnected?

If you grew up in a chaotic or stressful home, you may have learned to survive by over-functioning, people-pleasing, or constantly staying on edge. Now, as an adult, you might be experiencing:

✅ Chronic anxiety, overthinking, or difficulty relaxing

✅ Feeling responsible for others’ emotions and struggling to set boundaries

✅ Perfectionism, overworking, or burnout from trying to “earn” your worth

✅ Difficulty trusting others or maintaining healthy relationships

✅ A deep sense of shame, self-criticism, or fear of being “too much”

✅ Emotional eating, numbing behaviors, or physical symptoms like exhaustion

The past shaped you, but it doesn’t have to define you.

THE PROCESS OF THERAPY

How It All Works

The time and money you put into therapy now will pay off in a lifetime of healthier relationships, greater confidence, and lasting peace.

01. Schedule a Free Consultation Call

Start by booking a free 15-minute consultation call. This is a chance for us to connect, discuss your needs, and go over logistics—but most importantly, it’s for you to see if my approach feels like the right fit. It’s easy, no-pressure, and designed to help you feel comfortable before starting therapy. Just pick a time that works for you!


02. Complete Intake Paperwork

After scheduling your first appointment, you’ll receive a link to complete standard intake paperwork electronically through my secure client portal. This helps me understand your background, needs, and goals so we can make the most of our time together. If you have any questions, I’m happy to help!


03. Engage in Ongoing Therapy

If you're meeting in person, feel free to have a seat in the waiting room before your session begins. If your session is virtual, simply join using the secure link sent to you. During your first session, we’ll take a deeper look at your experiences and goals in a safe, supportive space. This is your time to share, reflect, and begin mapping out a therapy plan tailored to your needs. As therapy progresses, each session will build on the last, helping you gain deeper emotional insight and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
