It’s not uncommon to feel lost at times, especially when life feels like it's pulling you in all directions. If you’re looking to better understand yourself, your emotions, and the patterns that might be holding you back from living the life you want, I’m here to help. What I’ve learned in my years of therapy work is that lasting change only happens when there’s a genuine connection between client and therapist. That’s why I show up as my true, authentic self in every session. I create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and understood—no judgment, no pressure. Just a warm, inviting space for you to be yourself. I believe in being honest and transparent, which means I might gently challenge your perspectives and help you see where you might be getting in your own way. It’s not about criticism; it’s about growth, and I’ll always meet you with empathy and respect along the way. There may be times I fumble my words or forget what I am saying because I am human too. I understand that therapy can be intimidating or even awkward at times, and I embrace that with you. What matters is that we’re in this together. In our work together, you are in the driver's seat. You’ll guide us in the direction you want to go. Sometimes that will mean tackling external stressors like work, relationships, or family issues. Other times, it might mean diving into deeper, internal struggles—because often, once we work on strengthening our inner world, we can approach external challenges with more confidence and clarity. Whether you're looking to develop a healthier mindset, explore your emotions, or build more self-compassion, my focus will always be on supporting you as you take small, meaningful steps forward. We’ll celebrate even the smallest victories, because every win counts.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is an opportunity for me to get background information to begin to understand you and what you are going through. It is also an opportunity for you to learn the type of therapist I am and how I may be helpful. Together we will tailor treatment to meet your goals and desired outcomes.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe, authentic, and collaborative space for my clients. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to open up, and I’m committed to meeting my clients with warmth, empathy, and genuine respect for their experiences. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment or pretense. Another strength is my ability to balance support with gentle challenge. I approach conversations with honesty and compassion, helping clients identify patterns or beliefs that may be holding them back. Growth often requires exploring difficult truths, but I ensure this process is guided by empathy and respect. By encouraging reflection and self-awareness, I empower clients to better understand themselves and take meaningful steps forward. Flexibility and adaptability are also central to my approach. I recognize that no two clients are the same, so I let their unique needs and goals shape our work together. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore whatever feels most pressing. My role is to guide and support clients at their own pace, ensuring they feel in control of their journey. I also value the human side of therapy, recognizing that the process isn’t always perfect or easy. Therapy can be awkward at times, and I embrace that reality. I’m not afraid to acknowledge my own imperfections, whether it’s fumbling my words or pausing to collect my thoughts. These moments remind my clients that it’s okay to be imperfect—that being human is part of the work we’re doing together. My greatest strengths lie in creating an honest, compassionate, and collaborative space for clients to grow, heal, and move toward the life they want.
