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 eeking 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 professionals, college students, and individuals managing stress, self-esteem issues, 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.
