Get to know me

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

Our first session is all about creating a safe space where you can begin to share what’s been weighing on you at your own pace. You won’t be rushed, judged, or expected to have everything figured out. This is your space, and I’m here to listen with care, curiosity, and compassion. We’ll begin by discussing what brings you to therapy and what you’re hoping to gain from the process. I may ask some thoughtful questions to better understand your background, current challenges, and goals. This gives me a clearer picture of how I can best support you and tailor our work together. I’ll also explain how therapy works, answer any questions you may have, and discuss things like confidentiality, scheduling, and what progress can look like. My goal is to make sure you leave the session feeling heard, respected, and clear about the next steps. Most importantly, the first session is about building connection and trust because meaningful growth begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. You don’t have to do this alone. You’ve already taken the first brave step by showing up and, I’m honored to walk this path with you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets my work apart is the way I combine deep empathy with practical, results-driven strategies. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I take time to understand the whole person—your story, your strengths, your pain points—and tailor our work to fit you. Clients often tell me they feel deeply seen and emotionally safe in our sessions, even when working through difficult topics. I balance support with challenge; gently helping you dig deeper when needed while also celebrating progress along the way. What truly makes my approach stand out is a strong focus on building lasting emotional insight and equipping you with tools for everyday life. You won’t just feel better during sessions; you’ll have skills and self-awareness that extend far beyond therapy. The result...My clients tend to experience meaningful breakthroughs, stronger self-worth, and long-term personal growth—and they keep coming back because they know the work we do is real, transformative, and centered on their definition of success.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to serve clients who are ready to understand themselves on a deeper level and are open to meaningful, lasting change even if they’re not exactly sure where to start. I work especially well with individuals who are: -Navigating life transitions, such as grief, career changes, parenting challenges, or relationship shifts. -Struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self-worth, and are tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles. -Carrying unresolved emotional wounds or trauma, and want a safe space to heal without judgment -Seeking to improve their relationships, set healthy boundaries, and develop more secure attachment patterns. -On a journey of self-discovery, looking to align more fully with their values, purpose, and authentic self. My ideal clients may feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward but they’re also curious, open-hearted, and willing to explore what healing could look like. Whether you're coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you at a pace that feels right. If you’re ready to do the inner work, gain new tools, and create meaningful shifts in your life, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
