First session

Setting Your Goals: We’ll explore what you hope to get out of therapy and what positive changes you'd like to see in your life. Answering Your Questions: I want you to feel completely comfortable with the process, so I will always leave plenty of time to answer any questions you have for me.

Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who feels ready for real change—even if they aren't completely sure where to start. You might be feeling stuck, navigating a major life transition, or simply carrying more than you can handle alone. While starting therapy takes courage, you don't need to have everything figured out before we begin. If you are open to self-reflection, willing to explore new perspectives, and ready to actively partner together, we can create meaningful, lasting growth at a pace that works for you
Origin story
My path to becoming a therapist started from a deeply personal place: I know firsthand how valuable it is to have someone walk with you through life’s most difficult chapters. I experienced the transformative power of being truly seen and supported during hard times, and it left me with a profound appreciation for that kind of healing space. That experience is what ultimately drew me to this profession. I love partnering with people to untangle the complex parts of their stories and help them build the real, lasting change they want to see in their lives. Whether you are navigating a painful season or working toward a specific milestone, my goal is to meet you where you are and stay right by your side until you get there.
Ongoing work together
Knowing You Are Making Progress Growth in therapy isn't always linear, but you will know you are making progress when the heavy days start to feel a bit lighter. Progress looks like, Noticing old patterns or self-critical thoughts as they happen, and having the breathing room to choose a different response. Feeling better equipped to handle life's inevitable stressors without feeling entirely derailed by them. Looking back over the weeks and realizing you are finally moving closer to the personal goals and peace of mind you started therapy for
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help you understand the powerful connection between what you think, how you feel, and how you act. When you're going through a tough time, it's easy to get caught in loops of overwhelming thoughts or negative self-talk that leave you feeling stuck or drained. In our sessions, we will: Identify unhelpful thought patterns: Together, we’ll look at the automatic thoughts or assumptions that pop up when you're stressed or anxious. Test new perspectives: We’ll evaluate those thoughts gently—asking, "Is this fully true, or is there another way to look at this?"—so you can respond to challenges with more clarity and calm. Build practical daily habits: CBT gives you tangible strategies you can use outside of session to manage difficult emotions and make intentional choices that line up with your goals. Think of it as developing a set of tools you can rely on long after therapy ends, so you feel confident navigating life's ups and downs on your own terms
