Get to know me

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

In our first session together, also called an "intake session," I will gather as much information from you as I can about the presenting problems you're experiencing, and background information/psychosocial history that provides context for the presenting issues you'd like to address. Lastly, we will work together to identify treatment goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I provide care that is both compassionate and practical. I believe it is important to both identify and address the root causes of problems, while also helping clients develop tangible skills and strategies they can start using right away, to help them reduce acute distress, and gain a sense of agency/empowerment. I take a very collaborative approach to therapy, and am transparent with my clients, happy to explain any aspect of the therapeutic process that may raise questions or doubts. I genuinely welcome questions and feedback.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a wife and mother, I understand the complex challenges that family life brings. And as someone who’s walked through premature birth and had a child in the NICU, I am uniquely equipped for and passionate about this population. I also particularly love to work with clients on changing their relationships with themselves, food, and body image, and developing self-compassion. I find this work deeply meaningful and rewarding.
