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

Your first session is about slowing down and beginning to feel understood. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, the challenges you’re facing, and what you hope will feel different in your life. I may ask about important past experiences, relationships, or stressors to better understand the patterns contributing to your current struggles. You’re always in control of the pace — we only go where you feel ready to go. We’ll also discuss your goals and what working together might look like, including the approaches I use such as EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, and mindfulness. Most importantly, the first session is about building safety and connection so you can feel supported from the start.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is helping clients move beyond insight into meaningful emotional change. I don’t just talk about trauma — I help you process it at the root. I specialize in betrayal trauma, attachment wounds, and anxiety rooted in relational experiences. Clients often come to me feeling stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or disconnected from their sense of self. Through EMDR, attachment-focused therapy, and practical regulation tools, I help reduce emotional reactivity and rebuild internal safety. I balance warmth with directness. I create a space that feels steady and nonjudgmental, while also gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you. My approach is collaborative, structured when needed, and always paced to support both safety and growth. Clients often leave therapy with greater clarity, stronger boundaries, improved emotional regulation, and a more secure sense of self.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults who are ready to actively engage in their healing process. Many of my clients are navigating betrayal trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, or the lasting effects of emotionally painful relationships. They often feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or disconnection. My ideal clients are insightful and motivated, even if they feel overwhelmed. They want to understand the deeper roots of their patterns, not just manage surface symptoms. They’re ready to build healthier boundaries, regulate intense emotions, and develop a stronger, more secure sense of self. Whether healing from infidelity, childhood neglect, emotional abuse, or a major life transition, they are seeking meaningful change — not just temporary relief.
