I'll be honest with you: I didn't set out to become a therapist. This career kind of found me, quietly, through my own healing.

Because I've lived through the kind of things that made me need this work myself. Recovery. Loving someone through chronic illness. Grief that reshaped me. Complex family stories I'm still unpacking. I know what it's like to sit across from a therapist and feel like a case file. I know what it's like to leave a session feeling more clinical than seen.

I started Seasons of Self because I was tired of therapy that felt sterile, transactional, or rushed. I wanted to build a space that felt like a soft landing. Somewhere you're allowed to bring your whole self, including the parts that don't fit neatly into a treatment plan.

I do this work because I've been the one on the couch, not just the one holding it. I bring my nervous system into the room with yours. I don't hide behind a clipboard. I laugh with you. I sit in the hard stuff with you. I hold what you're carrying like it matters, because it does.

Here's the thing I want you to know before we ever meet: I live the work I offer. And hand on heart, you are not asking for too much by wanting to be met here. You just have to arrive.
