How I Practice

 Beginning therapy can feel unfamiliar or even daunting, especially if this is your first experience. Our initial sessions are a chance for us to get to know one another and to talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you hope for, and what feels important to you right now. We will take this at your pace. Together, we will clarify your aims and decide how we might work in a way that feels supportive and manageable for you.

In sessions, my focus is on creating a sense of safety, trust, and emotional support. We will gently build a therapeutic relationship where you can feel supported, understood, and respected. We will look not only at what feels difficult or painful, but also at the strengths, coping strategies, and resources you already have. You can expect a balance of care, guidance, and gentle reflection, always with the intention of sensitivity to your comfort and boundaries.

There may be moments of quiet or reflection during sessions. I remain present and attentive during these times, offering support and curiosity rather than pressure, and helping you explore whatever feels relevant or meaningful in the moment.

As we continue working together, we will focus on learning non invasive ways to help your body and nervous system feel calmer and more settled. This can support emotional wellbeing, improve sleep and energy, and help you feel more grounded and resilient in daily life. This work is always gentle and practical.

Depending on your needs and wishes, we will gradually talk more and more about aspects of your life, relationships, or experiences that you bring to therapy. This is done carefully and respectfully, with close attention to pacing and emotional safety. There is no expectation to share anything before you feel ready.

Therapy is approached holistically, working with mind, body, and spirit, to support healing, self-understanding, and a greater sense of ease and balance in your life.

Throughout therapy, I listen not only to your words, but also to what I observe in your actions that may be out of your current awareness. This somatic work will help you explore what lies beneath the words and can point us toward the deeper, unnoticed emotions you carry. With support, you can begin to understand yourself more deeply, hear yourself more clearly, heal yourself more fully - enabling integration and freedom from the past.

Through the therapeutic relationship, we will work to build a new story, a story in which all parts of your psyche come together to forge a new path of your choosing, where forgiveness of self and others is claimed. We can create a path where you are the heroine in the vibrant life you are creating, beyond surviving.

The good news is, you can uncover, discover and recover the parts that have been hidden, lost or forgotten, and regain your personal power.
