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

In our first session, my priority is helping you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. We’ll spend time getting to know what brought you to therapy and what’s been weighing on you, while also covering some important background information. I approach this conversation gently and collaboratively, not like an interrogation or checklist. My goal is to truly understand your situation, what you’re hoping for, and what you need from therapy right now. Many clients leave the first session feeling relieved to finally talk openly and have someone help them make sense of what they’re experiencing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets my approach apart is the balance between warmth and clinical depth. I’m not a distant or overly clinical therapist, but I also don’t shy away from exploring deeper patterns when it’s helpful. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based approaches, while remaining relational and human. I focus on helping clients understand why certain patterns developed, not just how to cope with them, so change feels more sustainable and authentic.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to work with adults who are navigating relationship conflict, emotional stress, or life transitions and want to better understand themselves and their patterns. This includes individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship abuse, or long-standing family dynamics. My ideal clients are open to reflection, curious about how past experiences influence the present, and looking for more than just quick coping strategies. I provide a calm, respectful space for honest conversation and growth.
