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

Your first session is a space to slow down, feel supported, and begin building a safe therapeutic relationship. We will start by getting to know you—your concerns, your goals for therapy, and what has brought you to seek support at this time. There is no pressure to share everything at once; we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. During this session, we will review relevant background information, explore current stressors or symptoms, and begin identifying areas where you would like support. I may ask questions to better understand your emotional, relational, and life experiences, while also paying close attention to what helps you feel grounded and safe.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is trauma-informed, spiritually integrated, and grounded in evidence-based practice. For clients who desire it, I thoughtfully incorporate spirituality and faith as sources of strength, meaning, and resilience. I specialize in reframing—helping clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors as adaptive responses rather than personal failures. This perspective often reduces shame and supports lasting change. Psycho-education is a core part of my work. Clients gain a clearer understanding of the brain, nervous system, and emotional patterns, along with practical tools to manage anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and navigate life transitions with greater clarity and confidence. Clients often report increased insight, emotional stability, and a stronger sense of alignment between their values and daily lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client spiritually oriented or open to integrating faith or spirituality into their healing process, viewing it as a source of grounding and meaning. They are seeking therapy that feels supportive, structured, and intentional—where they can slow down, feel seen, and build sustainable tools for emotional regulation, healthier boundaries, and a more aligned life. They are curious, reflective, and open to learning—interested in understanding why they feel the way they do, not just how to cope. They value insight, psycho-education, and reframing, and are willing to explore patterns with compassion rather than self-criticism.
