First session
During the first session, clients can expect a review of confidentiality and its limits, followed by a general discussion of the concerns or challenges that brought them to therapy. We will also talk about your goals, expectations, and what you hope to gain from counseling. The first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another and for you to share what feels comfortable. There is no expectation that you have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin. Together, we will identify areas that may benefit from support and begin developing a plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and your questions, comfort level, and feedback are important. As we move forward, we will work together to build a therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and understanding.

Ideal clients
I work with individuals, families , and first responders/ professionals who have experienced traumatic or difficult life events and are looking for support, understanding, and meaningful change. I have a particular interest in working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum and individuals with intellectual disabilities, providing a supportive and compassionate environment where each person’s unique needs, strengths, and experiences are respected. I also work with parents and families who may benefit from guidance in understanding their loved one’s needs, strengthening communication, managing challenging behaviors, and developing effective strategies for navigating everyday challenges. Through parent training, family therapy, and individual therapy, I strive to help clients build practical skills, strengthen relationships, and increase confidence in managing life’s challenges. My approach is individualized and strengths-based. I recognize that every person and family has a unique story, and I work collaboratively with clients to identify their goals, build on their strengths, and develop strategies that support greater emotional well-being and quality of life.
Ongoing work together
Progress in therapy can look different for everyone and may not always be obvious at first. Sometimes, meaningful change begins with small shifts in the way you understand yourself, others, and your experiences. Clients may begin to notice progress through changes in their perceptions, perspectives, and responses to challenging situations. You may find yourself recognizing negative or unhelpful thought patterns and becoming more willing to question or challenge them. You may also notice an increased ability to consider different perspectives, reality-test thoughts or assumptions, and respond to situations with greater flexibility. Progress can also show up through changes in behavior. You may find yourself trying new approaches, making different choices, communicating differently, or responding to situations in ways that feel more intentional rather than automatic. Over time, you may notice an increased ability to think about the future, identify possibilities, set goals, and feel more hopeful about your ability to manage challenges. Therapy is not about achieving perfection or never experiencing difficult thoughts or emotions. Instead, progress may mean developing greater awareness, having more choices in how you respond, and feeling better equipped to navigate challenges in a way that aligns with your goals and values.
