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

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where we get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask thoughtful questions about your goals, current challenges, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. We’ll identify the most important areas to focus on and begin building a plan that feels realistic and supportive. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths include my warm, relational style and my ability to make clients feel seen, understood, and at ease quickly. With more than two decades of experience, I blend CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients gain clarity and develop actionable tools for everyday life. I’m skilled at helping high-functioning individuals reduce stress, increase emotional resilience, and reconnect with their confidence and sense of self. Clients often tell me they appreciate my balanced approach—compassionate, practical, and deeply supportive.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who are motivated for personal growth and want a safe, judgment-free space to understand themselves more deeply. My ideal clients are navigating mild to moderate anxiety or depression, burnout, work or relationship stress, life transitions, identity shifts, self-worth challenges, or the desire to feel more confident and emotionally regulated. You may be high-functioning on the outside but feeling stretched thin on the inside. You value emotional wellness, want tools you can use right away, and are ready to feel more balanced, clear, and in control of your life. If you're seeking a therapist who blends compassion with practical strategies, we’ll work well together.
