Spill The Tea in Therapy
We understand that therapy can sometimes feel intimidating, but here, it’s like catching up with a trusted friend. Imagine this: a real, down-to-earth person sitting beside you, guiding you through whatever's weighing on your mind. You might hear a friendly “Y’all” now and then, as we share a bit about growing up in Florida, but most importantly, you'll find a calm presence and a dedicated expert committed to your healing journey.
Connection is at the heart of what we do. We are approachable, authentic, and anything but stiff. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and relaxed our sessions feel, with a straightforward, no-nonsense approach. You might even find yourself looking forward to your therapy sessions!

The Value of Talking It Out
Therapy is unique among health treatments in that it isn’t something that is "done" to you. Instead, the effectiveness of therapy largely depends on your active participation and commitment to practicing the skills you learn beyond our sessions. It’s important to recognize that reflecting on past experiences and confronting the emotions tied to them may stir up intense feelings, such as anger, sadness, anxiety, grief, or shame.
Yet, in order to heal, we must first allow ourselves to fully feel the pain we carry. While I can’t guarantee that all the challenges that brought you to therapy will be resolved, I can promise to be here with you—to offer support, do my best to understand you, and help you understand yourself. Together, we will work to identify patterns, clarify your goals, and move toward them with intention.
Transformation

Therapy can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, including your values, needs, and desires, while also equipping you with tools to manage anxiety, grief, and depression. It fosters the development of healthy boundaries and effective communication skills, enhances your ability to recognize relationship patterns, and builds interpersonal effectiveness. Additionally, therapy supports better decision-making, problem-solving, and coping strategies for managing distress, ultimately boosting self-compassion and self-confidence.

Do’s and Dont's for Your Therapy Sessions
Once you begin therapy, it’s essential to establish a collaborative and respectful relationship. Here are a few guidelines to help you make the most of your therapy experience:
​
Do’s:
-
Be open and honest with your therapist, sharing your thoughts, feelings, and concerns.
-
Set goals and communicate them with your therapist, allowing you to work together towards achieving them.
-
Practice self-care and engage in activities that promote your well-being outside of therapy.
-
Attend sessions consistently and be on time, showing dedication to your healing journey.
Dont's:
-
Don’t be afraid to discuss difficult or sensitive topics. Therapy is a safe space for exploration and growth.
-
Don’t judge yourself for experiencing emotions or setbacks along the way. Healing takes time and patience.
-
Don’t hesitate to communicate any concerns or issues that arise during therapy. Your therapist is there to support you.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process, and your therapist is committed to helping you navigate challenges, promote personal growth, and achieve your goals. By adhering to these guidelines, you can create a therapeutic environment that fosters trust, understanding, and positive change.
