It’s completely natural to feel nervous, hesitant, or uncertain about starting therapy. When considering a therapist, verify that they have the necessary qualifications to provide therapy.

Give the therapy sessions some time. If you felt okay about the therapist during the initial consultation or first session, if possible try to attend a few sessions before deciding whether it’s the right fit for you. Notice if you feel understood and have the space you need to express yourself. Remember that while expertise is essential, how you feel in the presence of your therapist is also important. Your therapist should be someone you not only like for their expertise but also feel comfortable and get along with.

It’s helpful to ask questions to your therapist and express any concerns you may have with the therapeutic process. Take your time in finding the right therapist for you. If you start sessions and find that it’s not the right fit, know that it’s okay to leave at any point.

I work with adult clients with diverse concerns, including experiencing patterns like overthinking, feeling on edge, and struggling to unwind. Experiencing moments of zoning out, low energy, feeling stuck and a sense of overwhelm.

I tend to work with and attract clients who have sensitive nervous systems and find navigating the world overwhelming. Struggle with managing change and transitions. Feel overwhelmed in busy and chaotic environments. Social situations may feel confusing and they often feel misunderstood. These experiences leave them feeling exhausted and frustrated.
