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

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to feel a mix of emotions before your first session. Our initial meeting is primarily a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building a comfortable, supportive space for you. During the first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, any challenges you’ve been facing, and what you hope to gain from the process. I may ask questions about your background, current stressors, and important areas of your life to help me better understand your experiences. We will also spend time discussing your goals for therapy and how me might work toward them together. There’s no pressure to share everything at once—you can go at your own pace. Most importantly, the first session is an opportunity for you to see if working together feels like a good fit. Therapy works best when you feel comfortable and supported, and you’re always welcome to ask questions about the process along the way.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Some of my greatest strengths as a therapist lie in creating a genuinely warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to share what’s on their minds. Many clients have told me that they’ve never been able to talk about certain experiences or feelings before because they worried about being judged, and that in our work together they finally felt fully heard, accepted, and understood. I’m skilled at helping people clarify their thoughts, recognize patterns, and develop practical strategies for change, while always honoring each person’s pace and comfort level. My approach is flexible and tailored to each individual, blending evidence-based strategies with compassion and curiosity. I strive to connect deeply with clients, support them in uncovering their own insights, and help them recognize and build on the strengths they already possess. Patience, encouragement, and creating a space of trust are central to my work, allowing clients to explore, grow, and move forward with confidence.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Many of the people I work with are trying to better understand themselves and the direction they want their lives to take. You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, navigating a major life transition, or realizing that the things that once worked for you no longer do. I enjoy working with clients who are curious about themselves and open to exploring their thoughts, patterns, and experiences in a supportive space. I particularly enjoy working with young adults and those in transitional phases of life, whether that’s starting a new career, leaving school, or figuring out who you are and what you want from your future. Together, we can slow things down, make sense of what you’re going through, and begin building a path forward that feels more aligned with who you are and what you want for your life. I also have a growing interest in supporting individuals navigating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and I am currently working toward additional certification to deepen my work in this
