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

Your first session is all about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. We’ll start by getting to know each other—you’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your background, current concerns, and what brings you to therapy, but there’s no pressure to have all the answers. This is a collaborative process, and we’ll move at your pace. Together, we’ll begin to identify your goals and discuss what therapy can look like moving forward, including approaches that may be a good fit for your needs. Most importantly, the first session is about building trust and helping you feel at ease. It’s okay to come with uncertainty, big emotions, or even questions about how therapy works—that’s all welcome here.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to hold space with deep empathy, while also guiding clients toward real, lasting change. I bring a calm, grounding presence that helps clients feel safe enough to explore even the most painful parts of their story—without judgment, pressure, or shame. What sets me apart is my integrative, trauma-informed approach that combines powerful evidence-based methods like EMDR, CBT, ACT, and Somatic Therapy in a way that is personalized to each client’s needs. I don’t just focus on symptom management—I help clients reconnect with their inner strength, process unresolved trauma, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom. Clients often share that they feel truly understood in our work together, and many have gone from feeling hopeless or stuck to thriving in ways they never thought possible. I am deeply committed to your healing, and I walk alongside you every step of the way with compassion, skill, and unwavering support.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best suited to support individuals who are ready to do meaningful, transformative work. My ideal clients are often navigating the lasting impact of trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles, and they’re looking not just for relief, but for real healing. Many are high-functioning yet emotionally overwhelmed, feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Others are survivors of childhood or relational trauma, seeking a safe space to process their experiences and reclaim their sense of self. I have also had the privilege of walking alongside clients who have come close to giving up—struggling with suicidal thoughts or deep despair—and with time, trust, and support, they are now thriving, living fuller and more connected lives. I work well with clients who are motivated to understand themselves on a deeper level and are open to exploring both the mind and body in the healing process. Whether you're looking to rebuild trust, manage emotional triggers, or live more fully in alignment with your values, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
