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

In our first session, we’ll clarify what’s bringing you in and define a concrete goal for our work together. We’ll explore relevant history, current stressors, and strengths — but with an eye toward forward movement. By the end of our first few sessions, you’ll have: A clear focus for our work Insight into underlying patterns Practical tools you can begin applying right away My intention is that you leave each session feeling grounded, clearer, and equipped with direction — not just processing, but progressing.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I create a safe and grounded space where we can move efficiently into the core of what’s keeping you stuck. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and an integrative approach, I help clients identify the key beliefs, emotional patterns, and nervous system responses driving their current challenge. Rather than long-term open exploration, we work strategically — identifying leverage points that create meaningful shifts. Clients often experience noticeable clarity and momentum within a relatively short time.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with clients who: Are ready to focus on one primary issue Are motivated for change Appreciate both emotional depth and practical tools Want structured support without committing to long-term therapy Many of my clients have done therapy before and are now looking for a focused container to work through a specific transition, stuck pattern, grief experience, or life decision. My goal is to help you create measurable movement around the issue bringing you in — whether that’s navigating a life transition, processing grief, shifting a relationship pattern, or reconnecting to your sense of clarity and direction. We work in a defined arc, typically 6–10 sessions, with the understanding that you can return in the future if another focused issue arises.
