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

Your first session with me is all about creating a foundation of trust and understanding. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, so I strive to make this initial meeting as comfortable and supportive as possible. We’ll start by discussing what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. This is your time to share your story, at your own pace, and in a way that feels right for you. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, challenges, and goals, but there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. This session is about getting to know you as a whole person, not just your struggles. I’ll also explain my approach to therapy and how we can work together to address your concerns. We’ll explore what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past, and I’ll provide an overview of the tools and techniques we might use in our sessions. My goal is to ensure that you feel heard, respected, and empowered from the very beginning. By the end of our first session, we’ll have a clearer sense of your needs and how I can support you moving forward. Whether you’re seeking short-term solutions or long-term growth, we’ll create a plan that feels tailored to your unique journey. Most importantly, you’ll leave with the reassurance that you don’t have to face your challenges alone—I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets me apart as a therapist is my ability to create a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I bring a warm, empathetic presence to every session, combined with a deep commitment to helping you achieve your goals. My approach is both compassionate and practical, blending evidence-based techniques with a personalized touch to meet you where you are. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to adapt to the unique needs of each client. I understand that no two people are the same, and I take the time to tailor my approach to your specific challenges, preferences, and goals. Whether we’re working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities—including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques—to provide the support that’s right for you. I’m also skilled at helping clients uncover the deeper patterns and beliefs that may be holding them back. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your struggles and work to shift unhelpful patterns, so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence. My goal is not just to help you cope but to empower you to thrive. Above all, I’m passionate about helping you reconnect with your strengths, values, and sense of purpose. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and healing, and I’m here to help you tap into that potential. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, tools for change, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I’m committed to supporting you every step of the way.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with individuals who are ready to take the first step toward change, even if that step feels uncertain or overwhelming. My ideal clients are those who may feel stuck, anxious, or weighed down by life’s demands but are motivated to explore their inner world and create meaningful shifts. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of past trauma. Perhaps you’re navigating a major life transition, grappling with self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from your sense of purpose. You may also be someone who has achieved external success but feels unfulfilled internally, seeking to align your life with your values and aspirations. I also work with clients who are curious about understanding their patterns, relationships, and emotional responses on a deeper level. You might be someone who values personal growth and is open to exploring new perspectives and tools to enhance your well-being. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to meet you with compassion and curiosity. Together, we’ll work to uncover the root causes of your challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you thrive. My goal is to empower you to live a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who you truly are.
