Get to know me

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

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and create a space where you can feel heard and understood. I’ll ask some questions about your background, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to get out of our work together. This is also a chance for you to ask any questions you might have about therapy, the process, or how I work. Together, we’ll start identifying your goals and explore what healing and growth might look like for you. My aim is for you to leave feeling seen, supported, and with a clear sense of the next steps.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is the genuine empathy I bring to therapy—I’ve been where many of my clients are, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. With nearly a decade of experience using powerful tools like EMDR, ACT, and polyvagal-informed therapy, I understand both the science and the real human experience behind healing. I combine evidence-based methods with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach that honors your unique story. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, chronic stress, or the demands of a high-pressure life, I’m here not just as a therapist, but as someone who truly gets it and wants to help you move from just surviving to truly thriving.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

You might be the one who always holds it together—the calm in the storm, the helper, the dependable one. Maybe you’re used to showing up for others and pushing through, even when you’re exhausted or overwhelmed. But lately, something feels off. You’re running on empty, feeling stuck, or just not quite like yourself. Maybe you've experienced things you haven’t fully processed, or maybe you've just been in survival mode for so long that you don’t even remember what it feels like to breathe deeply and be. I work best with people who are ready to pause and take a deeper look—not because they're broken, but because they're human. If you're feeling the weight of unspoken stress, burnout, or past experiences that still linger, therapy can be a place to finally exhale. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. You just need a willingness to be honest with yourself and a desire for something to shift. My clients are often the people who are ready to stop pushing everything down and start exploring what it means to live more fully. They may feel disconnected from their own needs, unsure how to slow down, or hesitant to be vulnerable—but they're also strong, insightful, and open to growth. Whether you’re navigating trauma, life transitions, chronic stress, or just a sense that life could feel more—more aligned, more grounded, more meaningful—I'm here to help you move forward with compassion and clarity. Together, we’ll work to help you reconnect with your values, understand your nervous system, and build a life that feels more like your own. This work isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. And you don’t have to do it alone.
