Hey there, I'm really looking forward to meeting you and starting our work together. To make sure everything goes smoothly, you’ll find a link for our session in the email you got, and it’s also on your Client Portal, so it should be easy to access whenever you need it. If you can, try to fill out the forms before we meet, it’ll help us jump straight into the conversation without wasting time on paperwork. If anything’s unclear or you’ve got questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m here to help. Also, since appointments can fill up quickly, it’s a good idea to book a few sessions ahead of time. That way, we can lock in the times that work best for you and keep the flow going between our sessions. I’m excited to get started and see where this takes us!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

When we sit down for our first session, it’ll be the start of some real, honest exploration into what’s going on beneath the surface. My style is straightforward and clear, but I’ll always keep things grounded in warmth and empathy. I tend to pick up on the underlying issues pretty quickly, even before they’ve fully come out, and I’ll use that insight to ask the kind of questions that really make you think. You can expect a space where we’ll push back on what hasn’t been working for you. If the usual ways of dealing with things haven’t clicked, we’ll dig into why that is and figure out new approaches that fit better with who you are. Everything we do will be personal to your life, not just cookie-cutter advice that doesn’t stick. This is going to be a safe space for you to reflect honestly, and while I might challenge you now and then to step out of your comfort zone, it’s all about fostering real growth. I’m a firm believer that getting somewhere meaningful often means facing hard truths, but we’ll navigate all of that together, and I’ll always be there to guide you with care. We’ll work through new ways to cope, new perspectives, and fresh insights that actually make sense for you—nothing generic. By the end of it, you should feel understood, supported, and maybe a little pushed—but it’s all to help you grow and live a more self-aware, fulfilling life. I’m looking forward to this process with you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

If I had to pick my top three strengths, I’d say empathy, really listening to what’s not being said, and creativity. I love getting to know my clients’ unique perspectives—it’s one of the best parts of what I do. I’m a firm believer that creativity can spark real change and help people grow in ways they never expected. I tend to work with people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes, and I’ve got the tools to help you through those tough spots. I’m trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-focused approaches, so we’ll have a lot of options to work with. At the end of the day, my goal is simple—to help you tackle whatever's standing in your way.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I focus a lot on helping both individuals and couples who are dealing with things like anxiety, depression, trauma, communication problems, and big life transitions. I’ve worked with people going through all kinds of major changes—whether it's divorce, shifting careers, or stepping into parenthood. I’m also dedicated to supporting folks from all kinds of backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQ+, BIPOC, or have disabilities. Everyone should have access to good mental health care, and I work hard to make sure the space I offer feels safe and welcoming for every client who comes to me.
