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

During our first session, my goal is to create a welcoming and non-judgmental space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. We will spend time exploring what led you to therapy, your current challenges, your strengths, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your story, patterns, and goals, while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we will begin to clarify your priorities and outline a collaborative plan for therapy that reflects your needs, values, and personal intentions. My hope is that you leave the first session feeling grounded, supported, and confident that you are not navigating this process alone.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my approach is the balance of evidence-based therapy and holistic, compassionate care. Through Method Ivy, I integrate modalities such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness-based practices, behavioral activation, strengths-focused work, and reflective inquiry to support both emotional healing and sustainable personal growth. I am relational, collaborative, and deeply attuned to each client’s lived experience, helping clients build insight while also developing practical tools they can apply in daily life. My strengths include creating a grounded therapeutic presence, helping clients uncover themes and patterns with clarity, and guiding them toward greater self-acceptance, resilience, and alignment with their values and goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to work with individuals who are navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, life transitions, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm, and who are motivated to better understand themselves and create meaningful change. My ideal clients are thoughtful, self-reflective, and open to exploring the connection between their thoughts, behaviors, values, and lived experiences. Many of the clients I serve are caregivers, professionals, creatives, or high-achieving individuals who feel disconnected from their sense of purpose or identity and are seeking greater balance, confidence, and emotional resilience. Whether your goals include healing patterns that no longer serve you, strengthening self-compassion, or living more intentionally, I provide a supportive and encouraging therapeutic partnership to help you move forward.
