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

In our first session, we begin exactly where you are. I will take time to understand your history, current challenges, relationships, and goals — but also your values, culture, and the patterns that have shaped you. My approach is structured yet flexible; I balance thoughtful assessment with genuine curiosity. You can expect warmth, presence, and gentle guidance as we begin identifying what meaningful change would look like for you. By the end of our first meeting, you will have a clearer understanding of our direction and how we can work together toward your goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out most in my work is my ability to combine deep empathy with strategic clarity. I tailor therapy to the individual, integrating approaches such as CBT, attachment-based therapy, EFCT, Gottman Method, IFS, psychodynamic therapy, somatic work, and trauma-informed care based on what will best serve you. I offer unconditional positive regard while also thoughtfully challenging you to grow. Clients often report reductions in anxiety and depression, deeper trauma integration, and stronger, more fulfilling relationships. I am fully invested in helping you rewrite your story into one of meaning, purpose, and joy.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to support individuals, families, and couples who are motivated to grow — even if they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain where to begin. Many of my clients are high-achieving adults who appear “fine” externally but feel anxious, burned out, disconnected, or weighed down by past experiences. I also work closely with couples and families navigating conflict, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, divorce transitions, fertility issues, or complex family dynamics. If you are open to insight, ready to engage in the process, and willing to do the work both inside and outside of sessions, we will likely be a strong fit.
