It’s normal to be hesitant about therapy! It’s scary to think about sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings with a complete stranger. I think the two things I most want people to know about therapy is 1) this is your space and you get to determine what you share and when and 2) this is a safe space to share because nothing leaves this place and I am accepting you openly and fully as you are with no expectations or judgments. 

 My practice name (The Door’s Open Therapy) reflects my approach to counseling: welcoming, open and judgment free in supporting individuals to overcome the barriers that prevent them from living fully and authentically. I specialize in the LGBTQIA+ community, but work with most mental health concerns. 

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but taking that first step is a powerful act of self-care. Therapy is a safe space where you are not judged, and where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My role is to guide and support you through the process, offering tools that can improve your emotional and mental well-being.

Hi parents! I’m a in-home behavioral therapist for toddlers and preschoolers who are twice-exceptional (gifted in any realm combined with learning difference/s i.e. adhd, ASD, sensory processing sensitivity). I offer in school support and observations as well as around the clock parent and educator coaching to ensure consistent success in nourishing self-esteem, self-advocacy, and enrichment. I myself am twice-exceptional and grew up oscillating between gifted and adhd labels so deeply understand the confusion and stress this creates for both parent and child. I am passionate about meeting the unique emotional and learning needs of this population and strongly believe in intervening as early as possible to set these change makers up for a lifetime of success. 

It is perfectly normal, even expected to be nervous or hesitant to start therapy. It is actually a HUGE step to seek help in the first place! I applaud you for simply showing up. Additionally, I am bound by professional ethics to keep everything that is said private and confidential. Therapy is a great place to explore all of our "stuff" that gets in the way of being truly happy - it is hard work, but so worth it!
