NEW CLIENTS

Welcome to TrueLife Psychotherapy & Consultation! It means a lot that you’re considering taking this step toward healing and growth with me. Reaching out for support takes courage, and I’m here to offer a safe, compassionate space that honors your unique journey. Below, you’ll find helpful information about what to expect, how to prepare for your first session, and practical details to get started.

What to Expect

Therapy is a collaborative process. My role is to create a welcoming, supportive space where you feel empowered as we work together toward your goals. In our sessions, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing, identify the strengths and resources you already have, and develop practical tools to help you move forward.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate:

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Women's health issues, including reproductive health and menopause

  • Workplace stress and burnout

  • Relationship challenges

My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices and tailored to your unique journey. I integrate methods that are not only effective but also compassionate and client-centered, including:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Every session is crafted to meet you where you are, ensuring that our work aligns with your needs and goals. I’m here to support you every step of the way, helping you create meaningful change and find a sense of balance in your life.

Our first session will be all about getting to know you. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, discuss your background, and start identifying the goals you’d like to work on together. It’s also a great opportunity for you to ask questions and get a sense of how I approach therapy.

To make the most of our time, it can be helpful to:

  • Think about what led you to seek therapy

  • Consider any specific areas you’d like to focus on

  • Jot down any questions you may have about the process
