Starting Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, or Stress

🌄 Therapy is like Sunrise Alpenglow - That first soft light that touches the peaks before the sun rises — quiet, gentle, full of promise.

As a therapist, I don’t make the light.

I point to it, reminding you, hope is possible and that it's coming.

I sit with you, helping you find the light and change within yourself.

And I celebrate the first glows — the signs of healing, the return of hope, the early light of a new beginning. ✨

Sometimes change doesn’t arrive all at once. It begins with one moment of clarity, one breath of safety, one shift in self-trust. That’s the alpenglow of therapy — The in-between space where your next chapter quietly begins.

Starting therapy can feel like standing at the edge of a new chapter in your life. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about growing, seeking therapy is one of the most empowering decisions you can make. It’s a sign of strength—not weakness—and a true investment in your future.

Therapy isn’t just about “fixing problems.” It’s about building resilience, self-awareness, and hope. It gives you the tools to break patterns, rewrite your story, and move forward with clarity.

Starting therapy can help you:

• Let go of what no longer works or even things that are holding you back

• Build confidence in your decisions

• Understand your emotions and triggers

• Create healthier relationships

Each session is a step forward.
