Get to know me

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

We’ll start by getting to know each other, beginning with brief introductions. We'll then delve into your present situation and specific challenges that are causing you discomfort. From this, I will develop a basic understanding of your needs, and we will discuss which therapeutic interventions might be helpful for you. This will help us create a tailored plan to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Becoming a therapist has been a lifelong dream of mine—one that’s been years in the making. My practice is shaped by over 20 years of experience in health care and international social justice work, where I learned the importance of empathy, resilience, and connection with people from all walks of life. I strive to create a warm, comfortable atmosphere where clients feel understood and supported. My goal is to put you at ease, help you feel seen and heard, and work together to address the challenges that brought you here. My approach also integrates trauma-informed, evidence-based practices including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches help clients process painful experiences, build coping skills, and create lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with clients who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives but may feel unsure where to start. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking relief from the effects of trauma and grief, wanting to build self-esteem, explore questions around gender and identity, or navigate major life transitions. They are often motivated to grow and heal but feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious about how to move forward. Together, we work to uncover what’s holding them back, develop new tools for coping, and create a path toward greater confidence and well-being.
