Get to know me

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

The most common feedback I get after an intake or first session is that the client was nervous to start and felt calmer, validated and heard by the end. It's also very common to know quickly if we will be a good, compatible fit for each other. I encourage all new clients to check in with themselves after the first session (with any therapist), and make sure they felt like a good fit for you. You can expect transparency, warmth, and a mindset of only focusing on what might be most important for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I find that I offer a variety of coping skills that are usually considered through collaboration with my client, focusing on interest, creativity needs and individual barriers that can stop us from using a coping strategy. My clients and I are always coming up with a brand new coping/emotion regulation strategy that neither of us had considered before through the creative collaboration. With that said, I find that somatic processing can provide a deeper level of processing and healing, as not all of our experiences effect just our brains, but our bodies too. I tend to utilize somatic experiencing, emotion focused, and eclectic techniques to find a processing strategy that works for your individual needs and experiences.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Many of the clients that find me have found immense progress in trauma processing/healing, increase their self-identity/confidence, and explore aspects of their own thinking/behaviors, relationships and history. My clients tend to value the visual tools I utilize in session, the moments of laughter, and the validation of their own experiences. Although I mostly work with women or queer-identifying folx, I welcome anyone who has had a difficult time with therapy in the past or is ready to take the hour for themselves to focus on their wellness.
