Get to know me

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

Our first session is all about connection and getting to know each other. It’s not a typical therapy session. Out first session will be more bout understanding who you are. I’ll ask about your goals, what’s been feeling challenging, and the strengths you already have. You don’t need to have everything figured out. This session is really about learning you, exploring what brings you here, and beginning to shape what our work together will look like.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest therapeutic strength is my ability to connect with people. I create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and free to be themselves. My sessions don’t feel clinical or intimidating. They feel like real, human conversations filled with warmth, curiosity, and honesty. I believe connection is the foundation for healing. Before we work on coping skills or thought patterns, we build trust. Clients can tell when a therapist is being real, and that’s what helps them open up. Once that trust is there, everything else flows naturally and with more ease. My style is relaxed and relatable. I don’t hide behind professional distance or textbook language. I show up as a real person who listens, cares, and challenges you when it’s needed. My goal is for therapy to feel like a supportive conversation that helps you grow, not a clinical process where you’re being analyzed. Even though the tone is conversational, the work is intentional and meaningful. I pay attention to what’s said, what’s not said, and the emotions underneath. I balance compassion with accountability. I’ll validate your experience but also challenge you to explore patterns that keep you stuck. That balance between comfort and growth is where change really happens. I use approaches like CBT, IFS, and mindfulness, but I integrate them in ways that feel natural and easy to connect with. If we talk about thought patterns or parts of yourself, it’s in plain language that makes sense to you. Therapy shouldn’t feel like homework—it should feel like understanding yourself better. Humor also has a place in my sessions. Laughter can be grounding and healing. It reminds us that even in the middle of hard things, there’s room for lightness and hope. I believe therapy can hold both depth and ease at the same time. What I love most about this work is watching clients reconnect with themselves. Uncover parts of themselves while at the same time feeling more like themselves then ever. Therapy with me feels real. You’ll feel safe, supported, and also gently pushed to grow. You won’t feel talked down to or judged. You’ll feel seen, heard, and understood. Because when people feel truly seen, they begin to heal and that’s where my true strength lies.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are women who are doing their best to hold it all together but often feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. They’re juggling work, family, relationships, and expectations, yet deep down they know they want more peace, clarity, and confidence. They’re open to real conversations, willing to do the work, and ready to start showing up for themselves in new ways. My clients appreciate honesty, warmth, and a therapist who keeps it real while helping them create meaningful change.
