The first session is crucial for establishing a strong therapeutic relationship and determining if I am a good fit for you. A first therapy session typically involves building rapport, gathering information about your background, current concerns and discussing your goals for therapy. I encourage you to ask questions and voice any concerns you may have. Therapy is a process, and will continue to build a rapport as we work together over time. It is completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We will take it one step at a time, and "I am here to guide you through each step of the process."
Depression, anxiety, and chronic pain can feel like they have control over you and your life and make finding the clarity to move forward, make decisions, and solve problems very difficult. There are roots to the suffering and together we can navigate through old and new wounds while constructively resolving current life challenges.
I am best positioned to serve clients who are ready to engage deep, meaningful work and are committed to personal growth. Many of the individuals I support are navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm , or a sense of being "stuck". They may be experiencing anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship challenges, or a loss of direction or identity.
Couples Counseling
I work extensively with couples navigating a wide range of challenges , including breakdowns, infidelity, emotional disconnection, parenting conflicts and life transitions. My experience includes working couples from diverse cultural and relational backgrounds. Over the years, I have helped couples strengthen their emotional bond, rebuild trust, and develop healthier patterns of relating to one another.
