Get to know me

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

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin making meaningful progress right away. I’ll ask some thoughtful questions about what’s been feeling most challenging in your life, what’s getting in the way, and how long those patterns have been present. I may also invite you to imagine what life could look like if positive change were possible — not to put pressure on the future, but to help us start uncovering what matters most to you. It’s totally normal to feel nervous in a first session, so I do my best to keep things grounded and even use a little humor when it helps lighten the mood. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling understood, supported, and like you’ve already taken a real step forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients often tell me they feel genuinely cared for and safe in our work together — and that our sessions are not only supportive, but truly effective. I’m deeply committed to helping people get to the root of what’s causing distress, without judgment, and with the clarity and confidence that real healing is possible. My training in energy-based approaches like EFT allows me to guide clients through emotional processing in a way that feels both grounded and transformative. I especially value those moments when a client is able to look back on a painful memory and feel calm and clear, rather than overwhelmed by it. My approach also includes a mind-body lens that helps clients understand how emotional stress can affect their physical well-being — and how we can begin to shift those patterns. While I sometimes integrate spiritual or metaphysical insights when they resonate, I always tailor the work to match each client’s goals, beliefs, and comfort level.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted — or just ready for something to shift. You may have done a lot of inner work already, or this could be your first step toward healing. Either way, you're someone who wants real change, not just surface-level fixes. My ideal clients are open to exploring the deeper layers of what’s going on, whether that includes stress, emotional patterns, or the way your body may be holding onto pain. You’re ready to take meaningful steps forward — and looking for a therapist who can guide you on that healing journey, offering grounded support, gentle challenges, and encouragement as you do the work that helps you feel better and truly enjoy your life.
