Get to know me

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

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask some open-ended questions about your background, current challenges, and what you’re hoping to get out of this process. We’ll also go over confidentiality and make sure you feel safe, supported, and heard. You’re welcome to ask me any questions along the way, and by the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer idea of your goals and how we can work together to reach them. It’s all about creating a space that feels comfortable and focused on what matters most to you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my biggest strengths as a therapist is creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and truly understood. I bring warmth, empathy, and genuine curiosity to every session, and I’m passionate about helping people work through anxiety, trauma, identity questions, and life transitions. I also know what it’s like to face hard things—I’ve done my own healing work, and that helps me connect with clients on a real level. I’m good at breaking things down into manageable steps so you don’t feel overwhelmed, and I’ll help you build on your strengths to make meaningful, lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with people who are ready to take that next step toward feeling better—whether it’s a toddler just learning to express emotions or an adult figuring out who they want to be. I work well with clients who value their mental health and are open to doing the work, even when it’s tough. I have a special connection to military-affiliated individuals and families, and understand the unique stressors that come with that lifestyle. My ideal clients are those navigating anxiety, trauma, relationships, or identity struggles and want a safe space to grow, reflect, and build confidence. Therapy with me is supportive and real—we’ll face challenges head-on, sometimes with a laugh, always with compassion.
