How Therapy Works &
the Approaches I Use
Therapy is not about fixing what is broken. It is about understanding what is happening beneath the surface and learning new ways to relate to yourself, your emotions, and your life.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure why things feel harder than they should. Others know something needs to change but are not yet clear on what or how. Therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Therapy That Helps You Understand Yourself & Create Lasting Change
What Is Therapy?
Therapy is a collaborative process between you and a licensed therapist. It offers a confidential, supportive space to talk openly about what you are experiencing, including your thoughts, emotions, and challenges, without judgment.
Beyond talking things through, therapy helps you notice patterns, build self awareness, and develop tools that support real, lasting change. Over time, this work can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and better able to navigate life.
How Does Therapy Work?
Therapy begins with building a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. Feeling emotionally safe matters, because real change happens when you do not have to hold everything together or have all the answers.
In sessions, you and your therapist may:
Talk through what feels most challenging right now, including stress, anxiety, or recurring emotional patterns
Gently explore past experiences that may still shape how you feel or respond today
Notice beliefs or coping habits that once helped but no longer feel supportive
Learn practical ways to manage anxiety, strong emotions, and everyday stress
Develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and the people in your life
Therapy is not about being told what to do. It is a collaborative process that moves at a pace that feels steady, respectful, and right for you.
What You Can Hope to Accomplish in Therapy
While every person’s experience is different, many people find that therapy helps them:
Reduce anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional distress
Feel more grounded and emotionally regulated
Understand recurring patterns in relationships or life transitions
Build self compassion and confidence
Improve communication and boundaries
Process difficult or painful experiences
Feel more connected to themselves and their values
Therapy does not promise instant answers, but it does support lasting growth and deeper self understanding.
Therapy Is Not One Size Fits All
There are many different therapeutic approaches, and part of the work is finding what feels like the right fit for you. Some therapies focus on anxiety and stress, others on trauma processing, emotional insight, or personal growth.
Below are some of the therapeutic services offered through my practice. Each approach is grounded in emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for your unique experience.
Therapy Approaches Designed to Support You
EMDR is a trauma informed approach that helps process distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming and intrusive. It can help with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and more.

EMDR Therapy
Women’s Therapy
Therapy for women who are navigating anxiety, burnout, evolving roles, and relationships, offering compassionate support as you step into greater clarity, steadiness, and self understanding.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers a supportive, one on one space to explore personal growth, emotional insight, life transitions, and relationship patterns. Together, we focus on what matters most to you and what you are moving through.
Is Therapy Right For You?
Therapy can be a meaningful step if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change but unsure where to begin. Many people start therapy during periods of stress, anxiety, burnout, emotional fatigue, or major life transitions, even when life appears fine on the outside. You do not need a crisis or a clearly defined goal to begin therapy, only a willingness to explore what no longer feels supportive or sustainable.
Through therapy, you can gain insight into patterns, build practical coping tools, and reconnect with yourself in a more grounded and compassionate way. If you are looking for emotional support, greater clarity, or a space to feel understood as you navigate change, therapy may be a supportive next step toward feeling more aligned with how you want to live.
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you are unsure which type of therapy is right for you, you are not alone. Many people reach out feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. You do not need to have a clear plan or answers before reaching out.
A consultation offers a supportive space to talk through what you are experiencing, what feels challenging right now, and what kind of therapy might feel like the best fit. Together, we can explore different therapy options and move forward at a pace that feels steady and comfortable.
