A Personal Message from Me
“I believe prevention starts at home, healing starts with honesty, and every child deserves to feel safe — from Day One.”
When “just talking about it” isn’t working anymore…
A lot of my clients come to me after seeing several therapists — and feeling more judged than helped.
They’re tired of repeating their story, tired of surface-level advice, and ready for real change.
I’m not here to waste your time. I’m here to help you heal.
At DayOne Therapy®, I use evidence-based approaches like Trauma-Focused CBT and DBT to help you get unstuck — fast.
No fluff. No judgment. Just tools that work, honesty that heals, and results that help you get your life back.
If you’re ready for a therapist who gets straight to the point so you can get back to living —
Let’s start from Day One.
