Get to know me

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

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, non-judgmental space where we begin building a foundation of trust and collaboration. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you're hoping to gain, and any questions or concerns you may have about the process. I’ll ask thoughtful, open-ended questions to better understand your background, current challenges, and goals, always at your pace and comfort level. This initial session also includes an assessment of your mental health history, current stressors, and personal experiences, which helps shape a personalized treatment plan. I’ll share more about my therapeutic approach and outline what future sessions may look like, giving you a clear sense of what to expect moving forward. Above all, this first session is about connection. It’s a time for you to feel heard, supported, and understood. You'll leave with a clearer sense of direction and a collaborative roadmap for your healing journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my belief that everything you need to heal and grow already lives within you. My role is to help you reconnect with that inner strength through insight, education, and compassionate support. I approach each client as a unique individual, recognizing that some seek emotional processing and connection, while others want practical tools, clarity, and direction. I tailor my approach accordingly, always honoring your needs, pace, and preferences. I bring a trauma-informed, integrative lens to our work, combining deep empathy with evidence-based strategies. I also believe in keeping you informed by offering psychoeducation and transparent dialogue so you can better understand what’s happening in your mind, body, and emotions. I value your feedback and invite it openly, knowing that the best healing happens in a space where you feel heard, respected, and safe to be fully yourself. Above all, I show up as a human first, someone who knows what it means to struggle. That gives me the empathy and humility to sit with you in your hardest moments, while also holding hope for what’s possible.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to serve individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and are ready to explore what’s holding them back. My clients are often navigating the impacts of trauma, anxiety, low self-worth, or major life transitions such as identity shifts, relationship changes, or emotional burnout. They may be high-functioning on the outside but inwardly struggling with self-doubt, emotional dysregulation, or a desire for more clarity and purpose. You’re a good fit for this work if you're curious about your inner world, open to reflection, and want more than just symptom relief you want lasting change. You may not know exactly what healing looks like yet, but you're willing to start the process of rewriting your story, building healthier coping tools, and becoming the version of yourself that feels whole, confident, and self-directed.
