taking the first step toward therapy
The decision to proceed with psychotherapy is a courageous step, and it's completely natural to feel uncertain when beginning this journey. Starting therapy can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory-opening up to someone new may feel daunting at first. But over time, as trust builds within the therapeutic relationship, those initial hesitations often fade.
In our work together, you'll find a safe, supportive space to explore the challenges you're facing. We'll look at recurring thought patterns, develop meaningful coping strategies, and begin to view your story from a new and empowering perspective.
Therapy can be a deeply rewarding process of growth, insight, and healing - and we can journey together on this path.
The importance of the therapeutic relationship
Research shows that the relationship between client and therapist is one of the most important factors in achieving meaningful results in therapy.
That's why I place great value on building a trusting, respectful connection from the very beginning. I take care to honour each client's comfort level, preferences, and readiness to share - moving at a pace that feels right for you.
I view therapy as a collaborative journey, where we work together as equal partners toward your goals.
