Get to know me

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

The first appointment is typically focused on assessment and treatment planning. We’ll review important background information, discuss current stressors and strengths, and begin identifying goals for therapy. I strive to make this process feel supportive rather than clinical, and you’re encouraged to ask questions at any time.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My therapeutic approach blends trauma-informed care with EMDR techniques and a genuine, down-to-earth style. I believe humor, when thoughtfully used, can help clients feel more at ease and connected in the therapy space while doing deep healing work. This balance allows clients to engage in therapy that feels both effective and approachable.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I support adolescents and adults facing trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and identity-related concerns. I am especially aligned with clients seeking affirming, culturally responsive care and practical tools to support healing and emotional balance.
