Get to know me

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

For Individuals: Our first session is all about getting to know you — your story, your current challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I’ll ask a variety of questions to better understand your experiences, and you’re welcome to ask me questions as well. While much of the session is focused on gathering information, I may also offer small insights or reflections along the way. Together, we’ll begin building the foundation for your healing journey. For Couples: In our first session, I start creating a road map for your relationship. We’ll talk about what brought you together, what’s brought you to therapy, and where you’d like to go from here. I’ll ask questions to understand your dynamic, and by the end of the session, I’ll provide a personalized assessment tool I’ve found helpful for many couples. This session is the first step in creating a path toward reconnection, understanding, and healing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often describe me as both candid and compassionate — someone who tells the truth with care and meets them with both grace and accountability. I create a space where you can feel seen and heard, while also being gently challenged to grow. My approach is person-centered and flexible. I believe you should have a voice in setting the tone and direction of our sessions. While I bring a strong foundation of clinical knowledge and experience, I also value collaboration and authenticity in the room. One of my unique strengths is how my mind works — I think differently. This allows me to connect especially well with overthinkers, analytical minds, and those who appreciate alternative perspectives. If you’ve ever felt like traditional approaches don’t quite fit, you might find that my way of thinking resonates with you.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

For Individuals: I work best with individuals who are tired of being stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, trauma, or other life-draining experiences. My ideal client is ready for change — even if that change feels scary or uncertain. You may not have it all figured out, but you're willing to explore, challenge old patterns, and do the inner work. If you're looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with both empathy and truth, helping you shift from dysfunction to healing and growth, we may be a great fit. For Married Couples: I work well with couples who are committed to improving their relationship and open to doing the work — not just together, but individually as well. My ideal couple is made up of two people who are willing to reflect, take accountability, and explore new ways of relating to strengthen their union. Growth in marriage starts when both partners are ready to look inward as much as they look at each other. For Pre-Marital Couples: I’m passionate about helping engaged or seriously dating couples build a solid foundation. I work best with couples who are ready to have real, sometimes unconventional conversations that go beyond surface-level topics. We’ll explore everything — values, habits, expectations, and communication — so that no stone is left unturned. My goal is to help you move toward a marriage marked by transparency, intentionality, and long-term success.
