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

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your history, current concerns, and goals so we can create a plan that feels tailored to your needs. This is also your opportunity to share what you hope to gain from therapy and to ask any questions about the process. My priority is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable as we begin working together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My clients often appreciate that I combine compassion with evidence‑based methods like CBT and DBT, offering both validation and practical tools for change. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space while helping clients build skills they can use right away in daily life. Because of my diverse experience in outpatient, medical, hospice, military, and telehealth settings, I bring a broad perspective that allows me to tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs. The result is care that feels both personalized and effective—helping clients move toward resilience, stability, and lasting growth.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults and families who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life transitions. Many of my clients are motivated to understand themselves more deeply, develop practical coping skills, and strengthen their relationships. Whether you’re seeking support through a crisis, managing ongoing mental health concerns, or striving for personal growth, I provide a compassionate, structured space to help you move toward stability, resilience, and lasting change.
