Get to know me

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

Our first session is all about creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard. You don’t need to have all the right words or know exactly where to start—that’s okay. I’ll guide the process with care and curiosity, asking questions to get a better understanding of what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll explore your concerns, talk about what’s been weighing on you, and begin identifying the patterns, stressors, or wounds that may be showing up in your daily life. I’ll also share a bit about how I work, answer any questions you have, and work with you to set goals that feel meaningful and achievable. This session is a judgment-free zone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, or just need a space to breathe and regroup—come as you are. My role is to support you, not to fix or rush you. By the end of our time together, you’ll have a clearer sense of how therapy can support your healing and growth, and we’ll begin building a foundation of trust for the work ahead.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My therapeutic approach is both heart-led and results-driven. I combine evidence-based methods—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care—with deep compassion and cultural humility. What sets me apart is the way I hold space: gently, intentionally, and without judgment, while still helping clients move toward real, lasting change. I specialize in helping clients who often feel unseen or overextended—those carrying silent burdens, navigating transitions, or doing the inner work of healing from past pain. I focus not only on symptom relief but also on deeper transformation: helping you reconnect with your voice, realign with your values, and reclaim peace and purpose in your life. Clients often tell me they feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded after our sessions. Together, we uncover patterns that no longer serve you, build tools that support emotional regulation and resilience, and create room for the version of you that’s been waiting to breathe freely. Therapy with me isn’t just about “talking”—it’s about being truly heard and supported in a way that empowers change from the inside out.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m here for the ones who feel like they always have to hold it all together—the strong ones who are secretly tired, the caregivers who pour into everyone else, and the individuals who’ve been overlooked or underestimated for far too long. I’m best positioned to serve people who are navigating life transitions, relationship stress, anxiety, trauma, or emotional exhaustion, and who are ready to heal, grow, and reclaim their voice. My ideal client isn’t perfect—they’re human. They may feel stuck in old patterns, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what’s next. But deep down, they’re ready for change. They’re open to exploring new perspectives, confronting limiting beliefs, and doing the inner work needed to create a more peaceful and purposeful life. Whether you’re a parent trying to stay grounded, a student athlete juggling pressures on and off the field, a helping professional craving your own space to process, or someone simply tired of carrying silent burdens—I see you. Therapy with me is a place to lay it down, breathe deeply, and begin again. I don’t promise quick fixes, but I do offer a safe, compassionate space to explore, heal, and grow at your pace. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again—or maybe meet yourself for the first time—I’m here for you.
