Get to know me

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

During our initial session, my primary goal is to develop a comprehensive and holistic understanding of you as an individual. I acknowledge that intake appointments can sometimes feel procedural or impersonal, so I am committed to fostering a collaborative and rapport-building environment from the outset to help ease any discomfort. The first session typically lasts approximately one hour, and I encourage you to share at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I recognize that establishing trust and ease with a new clinician is a process, and I respect your individual timeline. My approach is warm, open, and supportive, with the intention of creating a safe space where you feel heard and empowered throughout our therapeutic work.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Social work and social welfare have been passions of mine from a young age. Having personally navigated significant challenges, I am deeply committed to continuous professional development, consistently seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and refine my clinical skills in order to provide the highest quality of care. This dedication to lifelong learning enables me to effectively support a diverse client population and address a broad range of presenting concerns. In therapy sessions, I prioritize creating a relaxed, supportive, and collaborative environment where clients feel safe to explore their experiences. I believe that building a strong therapeutic alliance, often enriched with moments of genuine connection and even laughter, is essential to fostering healing and growth. While we work together to develop practical skills and coping strategies tailored to your needs, my overarching goal is to make therapy a comfortable, engaging, and empowering process—one that clients look forward to as a meaningful part of their journey toward well-being and resilience.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best suited to support clients who engage in therapy with openness, a willingness to participate in meaningful dialogue, and a genuine commitment to personal growth. My clinical practice primarily focuses on trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, anxiety, and the complexities often associated with these conditions. I find it particularly fulfilling to work with individuals who have faced persistent challenges and feel stuck in their healing process, and I am dedicated to facilitating meaningful breakthroughs—often utilizing EMDR as an effective therapeutic modality to support this work. Working with depression and anxiety is a core area of my expertise, and I am passionate about offering new strategies to manage these challenges and improve quality of life. Additionally, I have a deep commitment to body liberation and would be honored to help you cultivate acceptance of the body you inhabit. As a pansexual woman, I am especially passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community and understand firsthand the unique experiences that may arise. I also create a sex-positive and open environment for discussing topics related to kink and consensually non-monogamous (CNM) or open relationships—feel free to speak openly, as I am knowledgeable and supportive of diverse sexualities and relationship dynamics.
