Get to know me

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

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other. I'll ask about your reasons for seeking therapy, your background, and any goals you'd like to work on. This session is also a chance for you to share what you hope to gain from therapy. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative- I want to ensure you feel heard and understood. We'll discuss what therapy might look like moving forward, including techniques that could be helpful for you. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling comfortable, validated, and hopeful about your journey ahead.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a provider, my greatest strengths are my ability to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. With a background in both community mental health and private practice, I bring a well-rounded perspective to therapy, helping clients navigate complex emotions, life transitions, and personal growth. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, integrating evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to empower individuals in making meaningful changes. I also have strong skills in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and working with diverse populations, ensuring that each client receives personalized, culturally responsive support.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based modalities to support individuals in developing healthier thought patterns and coping strategies. With experience in both community mental health and private practice, I am well-positioned to work with those struggling with mild to moderate depression, self-esteem and confidence issues, individuals managing stress, anxiety and personal growth. I also have experience supporting those dealing with major life adjustments, such as career changes and family dynamics. My goal is to provide a supportive, culturally responsive space where clients feel empowered to make meaningful changes. Please note that my practice does not provide crisis or emergency services. Clients currently experiencing active suicidal thoughts, psychosis, severe substance use, or unsafe living environments requiring immediate intervention may be better supported through higher levels of care such as inpatient, crisis stabilization, or intensive outpatient programs. My practice focuses on voluntary, goal-oriented therapy. If you are seeking services to fulfill a legal or court-ordered requirement, I encourage you to connect with a provider or program that specializes in those services. If you’re looking for therapy that’s supportive, structured, and tailored to your goals, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s work together to turn insight into action and challenges into growth
