Get to know me

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

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a foundation of trust. I understand that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or uncertain, so I approach this session with gentleness, openness, and curiosity. During our time together, I will: -Learn about you — We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, what challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to gain from our work together. You’re welcome to share at your own pace; there is no pressure to disclose more than you feel ready for. -Discuss your history and current concerns — I may ask questions about your background, relationships, and daily experiences to better understand the context of your life and the factors influencing your well-being. -Clarify your goals — We’ll identify the goals you want to work toward so that our sessions are meaningful and focused on what matters most to you. -Review the therapy process — I’ll explain how I work, what therapy might look like moving forward, and address any questions or concerns you may have about confidentiality, frequency of sessions, or the therapeutic approach. -Create a collaborative plan — Together, we’ll begin outlining initial steps and strategies to support you as you move toward healing, clarity, and improved functioning. The first session is not about “fixing” everything immediately — it’s about connection, understanding, and beginning a journey at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to ensure you feel heard, supported, and grounded as we start this work together.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I employ an integrative approach to therapy that is tailored to the specific needs of the person. I use techniques from various evidence-based practices. The techniques that I employ are associated with CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused. I also utilize assessment scales, questionnaires, worksheets and homework throughout the process of therapy.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a warm, supportive, and person-centered environment where you can feel genuinely heard and understood. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused strategies, Motivational Interviewing, and faith-based principles (when desired) to offer both insight and practical tools for daily life. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs—helping you identify meaningful goals, build effective coping skills, and move toward greater clarity, resilience, and overall well-being.
