Hi there, I'm Darby! I believe everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My approach My approach to providing care is warm, compassionate, and individualized. I believe that every person has a unique story, effective therapy begins with feeling truly heard, understood, and accepted. My communication style My communication style is warm, genuine, and direct, while always remaining compassionate and respectful. I believe clients deserve to feel heard and understood, but also that honest feedback and gentle challenges can be an important part of growth. I strive to communicate in a way that is clear, relatable, and authentic. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist grew from a genuine desire to understand people, relationships, and the experiences that shape who we become. Over the years, both my personal experiences and professional work have deepened my belief in the power of connection, compassion, and being truly heard. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by first understanding where they are, where they want to be, and what might be getting in the way. Together, we identify patterns, build on their strengths, and develop practical tools that can be applied to everyday life. Our first session Your first session with me is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brought you to therapy.
