Get to know me

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

In our sessions, you can expect a warm, collaborative environment. I’ll ask questions that help you reflect more deeply, and together we will explore both current issues and past experiences that may be shaping your emotional world. I see myself as a guide and ally, helping you notice patterns, understand yourself more fully, and make choices that align with who you want to be. While I have a framework, I tailor my approach based on what you need – whether that’s more structured coping strategies, deeper trauma work, or simply a space to be heard without judgement.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Years of working with diverse individuals have refined my ability to quickly recognize underlying patterns and help clients name what may feel hard to articulate. I offer a calm, grounded presence that helps clients feel safe exploring the most vulnerable or painful parts of themselves. My approach is flexible and responsive. I draw from a wide range of evidence-based practices while always staying attuned to what works best for each individual. I know how to build a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and reparative especially for those who have been hurt in relationships before. I’ve learned to trust the process of therapy – meeting clients where they are and allowing space for insight and change to emerge over time. I’m skilled for holding space for the unknown – where change often begins – and helping clients move through uncertainty with curiosity and compassion.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with a variety of populations and have experience working with children, adolescents, families, adults, and older adults. I work best with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or the lingering effects of trauma. My ideal client is someone who may feel stuck or overwhelmed but is open to self-reflection and willing to explore their inner world...even if it feels unfamiliar or scary at first. Clients who appreciate a warm, thoughtful and collaborative space - where they can explore not just symptoms, but the deeper emotional patterns underneath - tend to thrive in my practice.
