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

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, supportive therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, the challenges you have been experiencing, and what you hope to achieve from our work together. This is also the place for you to ask questions! Therapy can be overwhelming, and I want this to be a place where you feel heard and supported.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Many clients come to therapy feeling ashamed of their thoughts, behaviors, or struggles. I prioritize creating a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment. My goal is for clients to feel understood, supported, and safe while working through difficult experiences. While I bring structure and direction to our work—especially when using approaches like ERP—I also tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs, pace, and comfort level. Beyond symptom relief, I help clients build skills that allow them to manage uncertainty, regulate emotions, and navigate future challenges with greater confidence.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to work with adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, emotional dysregulation, or overcontrol, and who are motivated to better understand themselves and make meaningful change. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning, insightful individuals who appear capable on the outside but experience significant internal distress, such as chronic worry, perfectionism, guilt, shame, or difficulty trusting themselves or others. Ultimately, I work best with clients who are open to reflection, willing to engage in skill-building, and ready to take an active role in their healing process—even if they feel unsure, overwhelmed, or apprehensive at the start.
