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

During our first session, you can expect a welcoming, structured, and calming experience. I will spend time learning about your concerns, symptoms, life history, and what motivated you to begin therapy. You don’t need to prepare anything—you only need to show up as yourself. We will talk about your goals, current challenges, and what you would like to feel or experience differently. I ask thoughtful, gentle questions to help us build a clear treatment plan together that aligns with your needs and pace. You’ll leave the first session with a sense of direction, a better understanding of what’s happening emotionally, and a plan for how we will move forward. Most importantly, you will walk away knowing you have someone in your corner who listens without judgment and supports you with care and intention.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to blend warmth, compassion, and real-world practicality with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. I don’t just listen—I actively support your growth. Clients often tell me they feel safe with me quickly because I am relatable, genuine, and deeply invested in their emotional well-being. What makes me unique is my integrative approach. I draw from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to create a personalized healing experience. I help clients understand their emotions, change unhelpful patterns, regulate stress, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I am especially strong in helping clients who feel overwhelmed or lost reconnect with their identity, strengthen their emotional resilience, and create a life that feels confident, balanced, and purposeful. I don’t just help clients cope—I help them transform.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who has been strong for everyone else but is finally ready to focus on themselves. You may be overwhelmed by stress, struggling with emotional regulation, navigating motherhood, dealing with trauma, facing relationship challenges, or trying to find balance in your life. Maybe you’re a teen or young adult feeling misunderstood, unsupported, or unsure how to manage your emotions. Or you’re a parent trying to juggle everything and feeling burnt out. What all my ideal clients have in common is this: You’re tired of surviving. You want to start truly living. You’re ready for clarity, ready for change, and ready to grow with the support of someone who understands both the emotional and practical realities of your life. If you want to heal, develop strong coping skills, break generational patterns, set healthier boundaries, or simply find yourself again—I’m the therapist for you.
