Message to clients

Before we begin, I ask only that you come as you are, without fear of judgment, without the need to rush toward solutions that may not yet be ready to unfold. Therapy is not about erasing the past but about understanding it, tracing the threads of thought and emotion that shape who you are. Together, we will explore your story—not as a puzzle to be solved, but as a life worth understanding, a journey where even the smallest step forward carries meaning. In this space, you will be heard, seen, and supported, not with ready-made answers, but with the patience and care that transformation—whether slow or sudden—truly requires.
