Get to know me

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

In the first session, clients can expect a warm and supportive conversation to get to know them and their concerns. We’ll start by going over the "housekeeping rules" and discussing what to expect in therapy. From there, we’ll explore what brought them to therapy, their current situation (including symptoms, support systems, work, relationships, past history, and coping skills), and their goals. I’ll also address any questions or hesitations they may have and explain my therapeutic approach. Together, we’ll determine if we’re a good fit and discuss how we might work together. This session is designed to build trust, foster comfort, and develop a plan tailored to their unique needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths as a provider include being open and curious about my clients’ thoughts and feelings without making assumptions, and try to meet where they are at. I approach each person with respect and equality, regardless of their age or cultural background. I deeply believe in my clients’ inner strength and their ability to make positive changes in their lives. I create individualized treatment plans tailored to each person’s unique needs, combining professionalism and genuine care to provide the highest level of support to my clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work well with clients navigating life transitions, managing stress, or processing the effects of trauma. I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. My experience includes working with culturally diverse communities, young adults, and those seeking support with self-esteem, boundary setting, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. I focus on fostering a compassionate and collaborative environment where clients can explore their challenges and create meaningful changes.
