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

Our first session is really about two things: getting a clear picture of what’s going on in your life right now and making sure we’re a good fit to work together. You don’t need to have a perfect 'story' ready or know exactly where to start; I’ll lead the way with some questions to help us dive in. By the end of our first hour, my goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and for us to have a starting point for what 'moving forward' actually looks like for you. It’s a low-pressure conversation to see how we can start making life feel a bit more manageable.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is my ability to help you find a sense of relief when life feels overwhelming. I am an active partner in our sessions, helping you sort through complicated situations to find a clear, manageable path forward. What makes my approach unique is that I don’t just sit back and nod. I bring a grounded, real-world perspective to therapy where I’m not afraid to be a real person with you. I specialize in taking the weight of past experiences or current stress and turning it into something you can actually handle. Clients often choose me because they want a therapist who is direct, values their time, and focuses on helping them walk away with more clarity than they had when they began.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I'd love to work with people who are tired of feeling like they’re just managing their lives instead of actually enjoying them. Whether you’re dealing with the long-term effects of trauma or the daily grind of anxiety, the goal is the same: to stop the cycle of just 'getting through it.' I offer a straightforward, practical approach to therapy where we focus on why and what it actually takes to move forward. If you’re looking for a real conversation and tools you can actually use, I’m ready when you are.
