Get to know me

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

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other. I’ll invite you to share what brings you in and what you’re hoping for, while I learn more about your experiences and perspective. My goal is for you to leave that first meeting with at least one practical tool you can start using right away. I’ll also share my initial impressions, and you’ll have the chance to clarify or add anything that we missed. Together, we’ll outline next steps and begin shaping a plan that supports your goals and helps you move toward the changes you want.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I bring a mix of real-world experience, academic training, and compassion to my work as a therapist. My background includes crisis response, caregiver support, and helping people cope after experiencing a trauma, which taught me how to stay steady and supportive even in overwhelming moments. I also taught in a graduate psychology program, preparing future psychologists, an experience that strengthened both my knowledge of evidence-based practices and the tools I bring to clients. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds and identities across race, age, gender, and socioeconomic status. I am skilled at incorporating these important parts of who you are into therapy, in ways that feel right for you. My style is warm, flexible, and practical; you will leave with strategies you can use right away while also building toward lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are people who want more for themselves like less stress, more calm, stronger coping skills, and are willing to take steps toward change. You don’t have to know exactly how to get there; you just need to bring openness and motivation. I provide a warm and adaptable space to support your growth and help discover what works for your unique needs.
