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

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and building a comfortable, judgment-free connection. I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping will change, and what’s already helped you cope. Expect a conversational, collaborative approach—with moments of humor when appropriate—to ease nerves and build trust. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, reflect what I’m hearing, and challenge patterns or beliefs that may be getting in your way. Together, we’ll begin clarifying goals and identifying strengths we can build on moving forward. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—this first session is about starting where you are and deciding how we’ll work together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I take a person-centered, collaborative approach using evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Gottman and Interpersonal modalities. I challenge clients to reach goals, but at their own rate instead of others' expectations. I consider my greatest strength as a therapist is to dig into your strengths and use them to work for you to reach the goals set.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work well with individuals, couples and families that are motivated to change and willing to be challenged.
