Beginning therapy is a brave step—one that reflects both courage and self-compassion. It’s a way of giving yourself permission to pause, to listen inward, and to create space for healing. Therapy isn’t about perfection, but about finding steadiness, building trust in yourself, and moving through life with greater clarity and ease.

I work with teens and adults who are learning to feel at home within themselves again—those carrying quiet heaviness around self-esteem, body image, or relationships that no longer feel steady. So many of the people I meet are moving through anxiety, depression, or a loss of connection to who they are beneath the noise of expectation and comparison. I also support people through the tender seasons of pregnancy and postpartum, when identity and emotions shift in ways that can feel both beautiful and disorienting. These chapters often stir up feelings we’re taught to hide—confusion, doubt, even grief—right alongside love and joy.
