Get to know me

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

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We’ll explore what brings you in, discuss your current concerns, and identify your goals for therapy or treatment. I’ll also gather information about your mental health, medical history, lifestyle, and any past experiences with therapy or medication. This is a collaborative process; there’s no pressure to share everything at once. I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and empowered from the very beginning. My goal is for you to leave each session with practical tools and strategies to improve your mental health. You can expect your concerns to be acknowledged and validated, and I will always respond with empathy and understanding. I provide educational, individualized treatment plans that may include lifestyle changes, coping strategies, and medication management when appropriate all designed to support your unique path to healing and growth.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is providing holistic care that goes beyond just addressing physical symptoms to include the emotional, social, and psychological aspects of your health. I believe true healing comes from treating the whole person. What sets my therapeutic approach apart is the combination of empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based care tailored uniquely to each individual. I integrate proven methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing with a deep understanding of both your mental and physical health. My focus is not only on managing symptoms but on empowering you to build lasting skills, make meaningful lifestyle changes, and find sustainable balance. Clients often appreciate that I create a safe, judgment-free space where they feel truly heard and validated. Together, we develop clear, practical plans that address your goals while honoring your pace and readiness for change. I’m also skilled at explaining complex medical information in clear, understandable terms, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health. This personalized approach helps many achieve measurable improvements in mood, coping, and overall well-being, fostering resilience long after therapy ends.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to serve individuals who are ready to take an active role in their mental health journey, whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I work well with clients who are open to growth, curious about understanding themselves on a deeper level, and motivated to develop healthier coping strategies. I especially look forward to working with individuals who are seeking to make meaningful lifestyle or behavioral changes, such as adopting healthier habits, building new skills, and finding effective ways to manage stress. Together, we’ll focus on developing practical strategies and cultivating the motivation and support needed to enhance your overall well-being.
