Get to know me

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

At our first session, you can expect us to have an open conversation about what you are looking for in a therapist to ensure that we are in alignment, because as I mentioned earlier, therapy is not a one-size-fits-all. You and I will begin to lay the groundwork for what will be our therapeutic relationship, we will discuss your past, present and the goals you have for the future. We will close out the session by discussing session expectations and schedule our ongoing sessions. During your ongoing sessions you and I will work towards the goals that we worked to establish during that initial appointment. You will find that in ongoing sessions we develop various skills and process experiences to help you make positive strides. I will work to create a safe space for you to explore parts of yourself that you may have not done before. I will work to build a string trusting relationship so that when we have to discuss hard topics, you trust that I will push you when needed and support you when needed.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to meet my clients where they are. I guide my clients on the paths they want to be on, and will check in consistently to ensure that you are getting what you want out of therapy. I also pride myself on being open with my clients, I draw and share from my personal experiences when appropriate to help clients feel less alone because dealing with mental health issues can feel isolating.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Throughout my clinical career, I have found a love for working with clients that are a part of marginalized communities, as well as individuals who have experienced and are experiencing generational trauma, individuals who have survived physical and sexual abuse, and individuals going through various life transitions.
