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

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, what’s been weighing on you, and what you hope will change. We’ll also talk about your current stressors, coping patterns, and what support has or hasn’t worked in the past. You don’t need to have the “right words.” My role is to help guide the conversation, ask thoughtful questions, and create a space where you can begin to feel grounded and understood. Together, we’ll start identifying goals and a pace that feels manageable for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths are my ability to help clients feel emotionally safe, seen, and grounded while also gently challenging patterns that keep them stuck. I’m especially skilled at working with people who are used to being strong for others, minimizing their own needs, or staying busy to avoid feeling. I integrate emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, and practical tools to help clients move from simply functioning to feeling more present, connected, and in control of their lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with young adults and adolescents who are high-functioning but internally overwhelmed; those navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, workplace stress, academic stress, or emotional disconnection. Many of my clients are used to pushing through, holding it together, and caring for others, but feel exhausted, numb, or stuck underneath it all. I’m a good fit for clients who want to better understand themselves, learn how to regulate stress and emotions, and build a more balanced, intentional way of living.
