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

In our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you don’t have to have everything figured out. My priority is helping you feel comfortable and understood. We’ll spend time getting to know what brings you to therapy, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping might feel different in your life. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your history, relationships, and current stressors, but there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready to. This first meeting is also an opportunity for you to get a feel for me—how I work, how I show up, and whether the connection feels like a good fit. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and outlining what meaningful progress might look like for you. Most importantly, you can expect empathy, collaboration, and a steady presence as we begin this work.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to build genuine, trusting relationships. I create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected, which allows deeper work to unfold naturally. My empathetic presence helps clients feel safe enough to explore vulnerable thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. I am also highly attuned to relational dynamics and patterns, helping clients recognize how past experiences and current relationships shape their emotional world. I balance warmth with thoughtful challenge—offering encouragement and support while gently guiding clients toward growth and accountability. My approach is both compassionate and motivating, empowering clients to strengthen their confidence, develop healthier boundaries, and move toward lasting, meaningful change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to serve individuals who are ready to look inward and do meaningful work, even if they feel unsure about where to begin. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, family dynamics, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I work especially well with those who value connection and want to better understand themselves within the context of their relationships.
