Get to know me

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

Your first session is a relaxed, supportive conversation where we’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you and what you’re hoping will feel different. You don’t need to have everything figured out—I’ll guide you through it. By the end, you’ll leave with a clearer direction and a sense of relief knowing you’ve taken that first step.

Everyone is different when it comes to mental health counseling. I take my first cues from you and discover your goals and needs. We take those goals and manage them together.
