Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and find out more about who you are and what has brought you to therapy. We will start to build a foundation for our therapeutic relationship together. When you feel established and ready, we will then dive into the specific challenges you're facing and what may have brought you to these issues. This will help me create a client specific plan for us to work through together as we help you become your best version of you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked with adults, adolescents and families for the past 14 years, I know the value of client centered treatment and therapeutic approaches. I am eager to help you identify the root cause of your challenges and to help you create a specific plan that leads to measurable growth and progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to learn, grow, and develop towards their best selves. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their lives, transitions, and purpose in life. I love to help others to realize their full potential and thrive!
