**Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here**

Deciding to explore counseling is not always easy. It takes courage to say, “I need some extra support right now,” and I want to honor the strength it took to arrive here. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low moods, or just feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you anymore—you’ve already taken the first step toward change by being here.

My approach is rooted in “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)”, a method that has helped countless people find relief and build resilience. What I love about CBT is that it’s not just about talking—it’s about learning skills and strategies you can actually use in your day-to-day life. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and habits that may be keeping you stuck, and I’ll support you in gently shifting them so you can begin to feel lighter, more balanced, and more in control.

Here’s what you can expect when we work together:

* A warm, welcoming space where you’ll feel truly heard and never judged
* Practical tools to help you break free from cycles of worry, stress, or self-doubt
* Support in building coping strategies that *fit you and your life*
* Guidance in reconnecting with your strengths so you can start to feel more like yourself again

I don’t believe in “quick fixes,” and I don’t believe anyone is broken. What I do believe is that small, steady steps forward—when taken with support—can lead to lasting change. My role is to walk alongside you, offering encouragement and practical skills as you navigate your journey.

So, welcome. You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to connect with you. Reach out today to schedule a session—and let’s begin this journey together.
