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

Your first session is an opportunity to connect and settle into the space together. We’ll touch on what brings you in, but the focus is on relationship, presence, and cultivating trust. Nerves and uncertainty are natural—there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. As your guide through the process, we move at your pace, beginning where you are.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to hold space with presence, depth, and attunement. Clients often share that they feel deeply seen, heard, and supported in our work together. I create an environment where people are not required to perform, explain, or edit themselves in order to be understood. This sense of safety allows clients to show up honestly and engage in the work in ways that feel genuine and sustainable. My communication style is open, expressive, and relational. I listen deeply and intentionally mirror what I hear, offering thoughtful feedback that supports insight and growth rather than judgment or correction. Clients are encouraged to reflect, explore, and speak freely, using language that feels natural to them. Therapy with me is not rigid or prescriptive; it is a collaborative space where curiosity, self-expression, and truth-telling are welcomed. Another core strength of my work is the balance I hold between therapeutic connection and practicality. While depth, meaning, and insight are important, I also help clients translate what emerges in sessions into their everyday lives. What matters most to the client shapes our work. Together, we clarify aspirations and work to manifest them into lived reality. I help clients translate inner vision into tangible goals, revisiting and adjusting as insight, needs, and capacity shift. This allows change to feel intentional, embodied, and integrated rather than overwhelming or abstract. My approach is especially supportive for clients navigating identity exploration, trauma, grief, relational complexity, and life transitions. I work well with individuals who are questioning inherited beliefs, unpacking conditioning, or redefining themselves beyond socially prescribed roles. Whether clients are processing trauma, exploring gender, sexuality, or relationship dynamics, or moving through periods of loss and transition, I offer care that honors autonomy, consent, and self-definition. Clients often gain clarity, self-trust, and a deeper connection to themselves through our work. Rather than being told who to be or how to heal, clients are supported in reconnecting with their own inner authority and capacity for meaning-making. The tools and insights developed in sessions are designed to be carried forward, supporting clients long after therapy ends. What often sets my work apart is that I do not approach therapy as a one-size-fits-all process or rely solely on rigid protocols. I am comf

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Questioning the beliefs, roles, or relationship structures you were taught to accept? I specialize in working with clients redefining life and meaning across diverse identities, relationships, and lived experiences. Together, we build practical skills and tools that support intentional living, thriving—not surviving, and self-authored life design. This includes work with grief that is not limited to loss through death, but also the loss of identities, futures, and versions of self.
