Coming to therapy can be scary and overwhelming. There is still a stigma attached to getting mental health treatment. Opening yourself up to a stranger or someone you recently met can make people feel vulnerable and exposed. I treat each person I see as a unique human being with their own struggle(s) preventing them from being who they want to be. I utilize different techniques with everyone to help them feel at peace and feel internal and external safety. This helps them act intentionally in their daily lives.
