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

During our first session, I focus on getting to know you as a whole person. We’ll discuss your background, including where you were born and raised, how long you’ve lived in Georgia, and important relationships in your life, such as those with parents and siblings. This helps me understand your experiences and the context that shapes you. For couples, I will ask both partners about their individual backgrounds and relational histories so that each person feels seen and heard. We will also talk about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and what you would like support with. All sessions are confidential, and I work intentionally to create an emotionally safe, respectful space where open and honest conversation can occur. There is no pressure to share everything at once, the session is paced at your comfort level and designed to build trust and a strong foundation for our work together

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to balance warmth and empathy with structure and clarity. I create a supportive, emotionally safe environment while also helping clients identify patterns, build practical skills, and make meaningful changes. Clients often appreciate my collaborative style and my ability to gently challenge unhelpful dynamics in a respectful, nonjudgmental way. I am especially skilled at working with couples and individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, helping them slow down, improve communication, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. My integrative, evidence-based approach supports both insight and action, leading to sustainable growth and lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are adults and couples who are motivated to better understand themselves, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen their relationships. I work well with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, as well as couples navigating communication challenges, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, or relationship transitions. Clients who benefit most from working with me are open to reflection, skill-building, and collaborative work, and are seeking meaningful, sustainable change rather than quick fixes. Whether working individually or as a couple, my goal is to help clients build clarity, emotional safety, and healthier ways of coping and connecting.
