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

In our first session, my goal is to get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your goals, your strengths, and any challenges you’d like support with. I’ll also explain how therapy works, answer any questions you have, and work with you to create a plan that feels comfortable and tailored to your needs. This first meeting is more about building trust and connection than going into deep work, so you can expect a supportive, welcoming space where you set the pace.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist, I bring a balance of compassion, experience, and practical skill to my work. My background in crisis response has taught me to stay calm and supportive in difficult moments, while my work with veterans, adolescents, and trauma-impacted populations has deepened my ability to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. I take a strengths-based approach, focusing on each person’s resilience and potential, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are individuals who have faced challenges yet continue to show resilience and a desire for growth. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for support and the importance of having a safe, steady space to heal and move forward.
