Get to know me

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

Starting therapy can bring up a mix of emotions—relief, nervousness, even uncertainty—and that’s completely normal. In our first session, my focus is on creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and heard. Before we meet, I’ll send some simple paperwork so we can spend more time talking and less time on details. We’ll go over what brought you here, your hopes for therapy, and any questions you might have. I may ask about your history or past therapy experiences, but we’ll go at your pace—there’s no pressure to share everything right away. Together, we’ll start putting words to what’s been weighing on you and outline gentle, realistic goals. Whether it’s reducing anxiety, processing grief, or navigating a life transition, our first session is about beginning your journey toward feeling more grounded and supported.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With over a decade in private practice, one of my greatest strengths is creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly seen and heard. My style is warm and collaborative—I work with my clients, not on them. I take an eclectic approach, blending Humanistic, CBT, and Behavioral Therapy to meet each person’s unique needs. My background includes training under a Behavioral Psychologist, giving me tools to support clients facing anxiety, panic, and avoidance patterns. I also have a strong interest in helping women manage stress, burnout, and life transitions. Above all, I care deeply about my clients’ well-being. My greatest strength isn’t just my training, but the way I show up: compassionate, grounded, and fully invested in helping you heal and grow.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with women across many phases of life—from the chaos of new motherhood to the quiet transitions of an empty nest. Many of my clients are juggling careers, caregiving, relationships, and the mental load of “keeping it all together.” On the outside, they may seem fine, but inside they often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Some are new moms adjusting to identity shifts and postpartum changes; others are managing burnout as they balance work and family. I also support women moving through grief—whether that’s the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the deep pain of losing a pet. Many are coping with chronic illness or pain, frustrated by feeling unseen or dismissed. If you’ve been the one holding everything together for everyone else but feel like you’re losing touch with yourself, you’re not alone. Therapy is your space to feel supported, understood, and safe to be exactly where you are.
