MY APPROACH TO THERAPY

I take a personalized, no-pressure approach based on what actually works for you—but I also believe in being direct and practical. Therapy isn’t just about talking; it’s about doing. If you're looking for someone who will simply listen and nod, I might not be the right fit. But if you’re ready for honest conversations, real strategies, and meaningful progress, we’ll work well together.

Here’s how I approach therapy:

✔ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – We’ll identify and challenge the thoughts that are keeping you stuck and replace them with thoughts that actually serve you. No more spiraling in self-doubt.

✔ Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT) – A science-backed approach that helps you process emotions, reduce stress, and reset the way your brain reacts to triggers.

✔ Inner Child Work – Sometimes, younger you is still running the show. We’ll uncover and heal the wounds that are holding you back.

✔ Strength-Based Therapy – Therapy isn’t just about fixing problems. We’ll find what’s already working for you and build on it, so you feel more capable and confident in your own life.

✔ Direct, Action-Oriented Guidance – No fluff, no endless venting without progress. We’ll cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and create real change.

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—but it also shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. Let’s find what actually helps you move forward.

Life is complicated, messy, and sometimes just plain overwhelming. Between stress, self-doubt, anxiety, and trying to keep up with everyone’s expectations (including your own), it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters—your peace, your joy, and your own needs. If you’ve been feeling stuck, exhausted, or disconnected, therapy can help you slow down, reconnect, and move forward with clarity.

At Journey Care Therapy, my approach is simple:

✔ Meet you where you are—because healing isn’t a straight line. 

✔ Help you set boundaries that actually work—so you stop feeling drained by others. 

✔ Guide you in finding joy again—even in the small moments. 

✔ Use real, practical tools—because insight is great, but action is better. 

✔ Make therapy feel approachable—sometimes with a little humor, because life is hard enough without making therapy another stressor.

If you’re looking for a therapist who just nods and asks, “How does that make you feel?”—that’s not me. But if you’re looking for a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist who will help you navigate life’s twists and turns (without judgment or pressure), we might be a great fit. 

I specialize in therapy for teens, young adults, and adults who are navigating:

✔ Anxiety & Social Anxiety – When your brain is stuck in overdrive and you can’t seem to relax. 

✔ ADHD in Teens & Adults – Helping you work through focus, time management, and motivation struggles. 

✔ Depression & Feeling Stuck – When life feels heavy, let’s work together to bring light back in. 

✔ Perfectionism & Self-Doubt – You don’t have to be perfect to be enough (seriously). 

✔ Life Transitions & “Adulting” – Navigating the uncertainty of change, whether it’s college, career shifts, or major life moments. 

✔ Relationship & Family Challenges – Learning how to set healthy boundaries and improve connection without guilt. 

✔ LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy – A safe, welcoming space to explore identity, relationships, and self-acceptance. 

✔ Finding Joy in Life Again – Because life is about more than just surviving—it’s about learning to enjoy it.

💡 Therapy is a conversation, not an interrogation. You don’t have to have all the answers—or even know where to start. We go at your pace, with zero pressure.

💡 You won’t be judged. No matter what you’re struggling with, therapy is a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without fear of being "too much" or "not enough."

💡 We’ll work on setting boundaries that serve you. Whether it’s learning to say "no" without guilt or realizing that your own needs matter just as much as everyone else’s, we’ll help you build healthier, more fulfilling relationships—starting with yourself.

💡 You might even laugh. Yes, therapy is about serious stuff, but that doesn’t mean it has to feel heavy all the time. Sometimes, humor helps us see things from a whole new perspective.
