Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we’ll begin with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you’re currently facing. This initial conversation allows me to better understand your needs and begin developing a personalized plan to support your growth and healing. As we move into ongoing sessions, I work collaboratively with you toward the goals we’ve identified together. My approach is grounded in openness, honesty, and mutual respect—always paced by your level of comfort and trust. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where you feel truly seen and heard. Throughout our work, I focus on strengthening the therapeutic relationship, honoring the power of empathy, and helping you reconnect with your inner resilience. Together, we’ll navigate your path toward insight, relief, and meaningful change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I absolutely love the life I live and feel deeply fulfilled by the work I do. I’m continually inspired by the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and I learn every day from my clients’ capacity for growth, healing, and transformation. One of my greatest strengths lies in creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their inner worlds, process pain, and move toward peace and empowerment. I see therapy as a collaborative journey—one that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, gain insight, and discover new paths forward. I bring empathy, compassion, and respect to every session, honoring each client’s unique story. Through this process, I aim to foster healing that leads not only to relief from suffering but also to a more genuine, empowered, and meaningful life. As David Richo said, “Our wounds are often the opening into the best and most beautiful part of us.” I believe in helping clients uncover that beauty and strength within themselves—no matter where they’re starting from.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am best positioned to support adults ages 18 and older, including young adults, mid-life individuals, and older adults navigating later life transitions. Whether you’re facing life stressors, emotional challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I provide a supportive space to explore, heal, and grow. Many of the clients I work with are navigating issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, or periods of personal transition. I also have a strong interest in helping individuals who are looking to reconnect with their authentic selves, build resilience, and move toward a more empowered and peaceful life. No matter where you are in your journey, I bring a compassionate, client-centered approach that meets you where you are—with respect, empathy, and evidence-based support.
