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

In our first session, my main goal is to get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping to work on, any concerns or questions you might have, and what you want to get out of our time together. You’ll have space to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable, and we’ll go at your pace—there’s no pressure to dive into everything right away. I’ll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process and discuss how we can work together to support your goals. Most importantly, you’ll have a safe, welcoming space where you can begin to feel heard and understood.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets me apart as a therapist is my ability to create a genuinely warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to be yourself. I’m collaborative and direct when needed, helping you explore your feelings honestly while supporting you every step of the way. I draw from evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, focusing on practical strategies for building confidence, assertiveness, and healthier relationships. My experience working with people from diverse backgrounds—including those who are neurodivergent or part of the LGBTQ+ community—means I’m attuned to the challenges of feeling misunderstood or isolated. Clients often share that they feel truly heard and empowered in our work together, and that they leave therapy with greater self-awareness, improved coping skills, and a stronger sense of connection and balance in their lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to support individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, struggle with confidence or self-esteem, or find themselves stuck in challenging relationship or family dynamics. I especially connect with people who want to better understand themselves, build stronger connections, and learn practical skills like assertiveness and healthy communication. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, isolated, or like you haven’t found a therapist who truly “gets” you—whether you’re neurodivergent, part of the LGBTQ+ community, or simply navigating a tough time—I’m here to help. My ideal clients are open to exploring their feelings, curious about personal growth, and ready to work collaboratively toward creating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
