Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel comfortable sharing your story — no judgment, no pressure. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to make sense of what’s holding you back and find a path forward.
I believe meaningful change happens when we address not just what’s on the surface, but the deeper patterns that keep you feeling stuck. That’s why I use a framework called the Integrated Formation Model (IFM). It’s not about complicated theories — it’s about helping you reconnect with who you are, break free from what’s holding you back, and move toward the life you were made for.
What To Expect
Here’s what our time together might look like:
1. Getting to Know You
Our first few sessions will focus on understanding your story. We’ll explore what brought you here, what’s been challenging, and what you hope to change. This is your space to be heard and supported.
2. Clarifying What Matters
Feeling stuck often means feeling disconnected — from yourself, your values, or your sense of purpose. Together, we’ll uncover what’s most important to you, helping you gain clarity on where you want to go.
3. Identifying What’s Holding You Back
Whether it’s unhelpful thoughts, emotional patterns, or behaviors that no longer serve you, we’ll gently explore the barriers keeping you from moving forward. You’ll learn how to notice these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment.
4. Moving Toward Change
With a clearer understanding of yourself, we’ll develop practical strategies that align with your goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you build resilience and lasting change.
5. Living with Purpose
Therapy isn’t just about resolving problems — it’s about creating a meaningful, intentional life. As you break free from what’s held you back, we’ll explore how you can live more fully in alignment with your values and what matters most.
You don’t have to have all the answers to begin. You simply need a willingness to explore what’s possible. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone.
I’m here to walk with you. Let’s take the first step together.
