How I Can Support You
Support looks different for different people.
Some folks come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Others have done years of work already and want a space that feels steadier, slower, and more attuned.
My role is not to push you toward insight or change before your system is ready. It’s to help you build enough safety, steadiness, and clarity that deeper work becomes possible, at your pace.
Ways I Support People
Building steadiness first:
Many people arrive already carrying a lot. We begin by helping your nervous system settle enough that you are not constantly bracing or pushing through. This may include slowing things down, noticing what your body is communicating, and finding anchors that help you feel more present and supported in and out of session.
Making sense of patterns with compassion:
Reactions, coping strategies, and behaviors develop for a reason. Together, we work to understand how your system learned to respond the way it does, without framing you as broken or resistant. Gaining clarity often brings relief, even before anything shifts.
Supporting trauma work when and if you are ready:
Trauma processing is not rushed or assumed. When it is appropriate, we approach it carefully, with attention to consent, pacing, and nervous system capacity. Depth comes after steadiness, not before.
Supporting daily life, not just insight:
Therapy is not only about understanding. We also focus on what helps you function, rest, relate, and respond with more ease outside the therapy room, especially during stressful or unpredictable times.
This May Be a Good Fit If
• Feel overwhelmed, shut down, or on edge much of the time
• Have a history of trauma and want a slower, more regulated approach
• Feel tired of having to perform therapy “correctly”
• Want therapy that centers safety, consent, and collaboration
• Have done some work already and want depth without pressure
This Might Not Be the Right Fit If
• A highly directive or advice-driven approach
• Quick fixes or structured homework every session
• Therapy focused primarily on productivity or symptom suppression
• Trauma processing without adequate preparatory support
If you are unsure whether this kind of support fits what you are looking for, that is okay. Many people are not certain at first.
