Before the Chair
Before I sit on this chair as a therapist, there is a lot that happens within me.
My own self-work, self-healing, reflection, and the courage to look at my patterns come first. Because how I show up in my life deeply shapes how I show up for my clients.
Becoming a mother has only deepened this understanding. Holding space for tiny humans while holding space for clients has taught me presence, patience, and humility in ways no textbook ever could. It reminds me every day that regulation, repair, and compassion begin at home - within myself.
This chair doesn’t just hold my clients’ stories.
It carries my lived experiences, my ongoing inner work, and my commitment to grow - so I can sit here with honesty, steadiness, and care.
