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

The first session is an opportunity to begin building a therapeutic relationship and to develop a shared understanding of the client’s concerns and goals. During this session, I will gather relevant background information, discuss what brings the client to therapy, and explore what they hope to achieve through treatment. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and share any concerns they may have about the therapeutic process. The initial session is intentionally paced to ensure comfort and clarity. My goal is for clients to leave the first appointment feeling heard, respected, and informed about how therapy may proceed moving forward.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach to therapy is integrative, evidence-based, and client-centered. I draw from modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed practices, EMDR, narrative therapy, and strengths-based interventions. Treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, goals, and lived experiences. I view therapy as a collaborative process and work with clients to identify patterns, understand underlying influences, and develop practical skills that support meaningful and sustainable change. Throughout the process, I emphasize emotional safety, curiosity, and empowerment, helping clients build insight while also strengthening their ability to manage day-to-day challenges.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

We both want to see growth happen and work towards making that happen.
