Get to know me

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

Prior to your first session, I will reach out to you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. I like to ensure that we are a good fit to work together and that I can help you with your treatment needs and goals. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. It is helpful for me to understand how you got to where you are today and why you are seeking counseling right now. It is also helpful for me to know of any prior therapy experience/s in order to understand what is meaningful for you. We will then create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I also offer intensive therapy sessions with extended lengths of 1.5, 2 or 3 hours flexible to your schedule for accelerated progress to feel better faster, prepare for an upcoming life event/transition, or process a recent trauma.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I recognize that therapy is a commitment of time and effort, an investment in your mental health, and can be a vulnerable process. However, my therapy "superpower" is people immediately feeling comfortable opening up to me! It is also a strength of mine to collaborate with clients to identify the root cause/s of their challenges. I then utilize tailored techniques to target these areas so that my clients see progress in their mental health, develop coping tools, establish healthier relationships, and experience a greater sense of self-esteem.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

The stress and overwhelm is overpowering and you find yourself looped into a pattern of self-doubt and overthinking. You're feeling stuck in your life, not where you want to be within your career and relationships. You’re tired of feeling like you aren’t good enough despite trying to be perfect and please everyone around you. There’s also this underlying anxiety with a sense of dread that the other shoe is going to drop. The past may be triggering you, preventing you from moving forward. I love supporting insightful, intelligent individuals who are motivated and committed to sharing their life stories in order to be seen, heard and understood! However, I recognize and empathize that if you find yourself here, you are likely not feeling like yourself lately and that something is burdening you enough to seek professional help. Together with my integrative and holistic approach, we can figure out what works best for you to help achieve your therapy goals.
