Get to know me

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

Our first session is all about connection—not pressure. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable, and we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll ask gentle, thoughtful questions to get a better sense of what’s been happening in your life and what you’re hoping for from therapy. Together, we’ll start shaping a plan that feels doable, supportive, and truly meaningful. I see therapy as a partnership—one where you don’t have to carry everything alone. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to make real, lasting changes in your life. If you’re ready to take that first step, I’d be honored to meet you. Reach out today—healing starts here.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Reconnect with your best self. With nearly a decade of experience supporting children, teens, and adults—and a special focus on women’s mental health—I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can be truly seen and heard. I blend empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies to help you feel safe while working toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or challenging relationship patterns, together we’ll explore what’s weighing you down and help you reconnect with a calmer, more confident version of yourself. Using trauma-informed methods, I guide clients to shift unhelpful thoughts, strengthen self-awareness, and rebuild trust in themselves and their lives. You don’t have to face this alone. Therapy is a step toward balance, clarity, and renewed confidence. If this feels like the right time, reach out—let’s start the journey toward feeling lighter, stronger, and more at peace.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Therapy often begins when life starts to feel too heavy to manage on your own. Many of the people I work with—women, veterans, teens, and adults—have been carrying so much for so long, often quietly and without support. Some are navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, or depression. Others are working through painful relationships, identity shifts, or major life changes that have left them feeling disconnected, exhausted, or unsure of who they are. Many have spent years being “the strong one” for everyone else, even while struggling inside. If any of that sounds familiar, please know this: you don’t have to keep holding it all together by yourself. Therapy can be the place where you finally get to exhale—a space where you don’t have to explain or perform, where it’s safe to simply be as you are. Whether you come in feeling tired, uncertain, hopeful, or somewhere in between, you are welcome here. The clients who find the most healing in our work together aren’t just looking to cope—they’re ready to feel deeply seen, to move beyond survival mode, and to reconnect with themselves in a way that feels whole and authentic. Together, we’ll use evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and interpersonal therapy, while also honoring every part of you—your emotions, body, story, and spirit. Healing isn’t about fixing yourself; it’s about remembering your resilience and learning to live with more peace, presence, and self-compassion. If you’re ready—maybe nervously, maybe uncertainly—to take that first step, I’ll meet you there with warmth, patience, and care. You don’t have to do this alone anymore.
