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. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and any goals you may have in mind—but there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your experiences and the challenges you’re facing, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. Together, we’ll discuss what therapy might look like moving forward and create a plan that feels comfortable and supportive for you. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path ahead.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in creating a warm, accepting space where clients feel truly seen and supported. I approach each person with genuine curiosity and respect, believing that everyone has the capacity for growth and the wisdom to guide their own healing. With a background in education, I bring patience, empathy, and a collaborative spirit to my work, helping clients navigate both present challenges and past experiences with understanding and care. I’m committed to meeting clients where they are, combining mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to best support their individual needs. Clients can expect compassion, active listening, and transparency as we work together toward meaningful change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My work focuses on supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, substance use, and grief. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults in educational settings, and I strive to meet each person where they are. In our sessions, you can expect compassion, active listening, and honesty as we work together toward your goals. I draw from approaches such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), existential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to create a style that fits your unique needs and experiences.
