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

During our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what brought you to therapy and what feels most important right now. I’ll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and help you clarify your goals and priorities. Together, we’ll begin identifying practical next steps and tools that feel realistic and supportive for your life. Most clients leave the first session with a clearer sense of direction and a plan moving forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I combine evidence-based therapy with a practical, relatable approach that focuses on real-life application. I use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, mindfulness, person-centered, and strengths-based approaches to help clients build coping skills, regulate emotions, set boundaries, and shift unhelpful patterns. Clients often share that they feel comfortable opening up with me and appreciate having a therapist who is supportive, honest, and focused on tangible progress. My goal is to create a collaborative space where you feel understood while also gaining tools you can use outside of session.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who are navigating complex or ongoing life stress and are ready to make meaningful changes. This includes individuals in addiction recovery, those experiencing relationship separation or co-parenting stress, parents feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges, and people struggling with long-standing emotional or relational patterns. My clients are often looking for a skill-based, solution-focused approach and want practical tools to manage emotions, set healthier boundaries, and feel more confident and steady in their daily lives. I am best positioned to support adults who are motivated, reflective, and open to actively engaging in the therapeutic process.
