In our first session together, here's what you can expect

First sessions are a gentle starting point, in which the only item on the agenda is to begin to get to know one another. I'll want to know what's been weighing on you, what has or hasn't helped in the past, and what you're hoping for moving forward. There's no expectation for you to share everything at once -- instead we'll go at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, grounded, and a little less alone.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often share they feel deeply understood and at ease in our work together. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches to help you better understand your inner world and develop tools that feel practical and supportive. I also bring lived experience with anxiety, ADHD, and chronic illness, which shapes my work with empathy, flexibility, and respect for the mind-body connection.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I'm especially well suited to work with moms, women, and twenty-somethings who are carrying a lot -- whether that's anxiety, mom guilt, people-pleasing, chronic stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who feel exhausted from trying to do everything "right" or feel as though they're "not enough." They're often seeking relief from overwhelm, more self-compassion, and a steadier sense of confidence and calm in their everyday lives.
