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

I’ll begin by thanking you for taking care of you. We’ll use our first moments to get to know the amazing individual that is you—your family background, work, key experiences, and what brings you to therapy now. I focus on building rapport and creating a space where you feel seen and safe to share. I’ll also explain how I work and introduce tools for self-discovery that foster self-awareness, because understanding yourself is essential to well-being. Together, we’ll start clarifying goals and the kind of support that will help most.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I approach every human encounter with unconditional positive regard. Clients experience me as steady, encouraging, and practical. With a CBT lens, I help you translate insight into change—elevating self-awareness, defining self-worth, and building confidence in how you navigate life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work well with people who are ready to do the work of growth. I’m experienced with relationship concerns, anger management, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, grief and loss, and career challenges. I also support service members, veterans, and their loved ones. If you’d like, we can thoughtfully integrate Christian, faith-based counseling; if not, we’ll focus on what serves you best.
