Get to know me

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

Your first session with me is all about getting to know you—your story, your goals, and what’s brought you to therapy. We’ll explore what’s working in your life, what feels challenging, and begin identifying what you hope to change. I’ll also answer any questions you have about the process and work collaboratively with you to set the direction for our work together. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and not judged—so you can speak freely and begin to build trust from day one.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What makes my approach unique is the way I integrate a range of therapeutic techniques while tailoring everything to your individual needs. I combine evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and solution-focused therapy with a trauma-informed, strength-based lens. This means we won’t just focus on what’s going wrong—we’ll also uncover and build upon what’s already strong within you. I emphasize empowerment, resilience, and skill-building so you can feel more in control of your emotions, relationships, and life decisions. My clients often share that they feel truly seen and supported in our work together, and that therapy becomes a space where real, meaningful growth happens.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who are looking for support in managing issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and emotional regulation. Many of the people I support are children and adolescents learning to cope with complex family situations, life stressors, or mental health concerns. I also work closely with parents and caregivers who are seeking guidance and strategies to better support their children. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to build new tools, I provide a space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.
