Get to know me

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

During our first meeting, I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy, what’s been feeling challenging, and what you hope to achieve. We’ll explore your goals and start identifying your strengths, values, and the areas of your life you’d like to see grow or shift. You’re always welcome to move at your own pace — you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. I’ll also explain more about how I work, answer any questions you may have, and collaborate with you to develop an initial plan tailored to your needs. By the end of our session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the process, a sense of direction, and hopefully a bit of relief in knowing you don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy is a space for exploration, growth, and empowerment — and your first session is the first step in that journey. Together, we’ll begin to turn insight into action and help you move toward the life you want to create.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets my approach apart is my focus on empowerment, collaboration, and real-world results. I believe therapy should feel practical and purposeful — not just a place to talk, but a space to grow, take action, and see meaningful change in your daily life. Clients often tell me they appreciate that sessions feel active, supportive, and solution-oriented, helping them walk away with clarity and concrete steps they can immediately apply. I strive to balance warmth and empathy with structure and strategy. You’ll find that our work together combines reflective insight with evidence-based tools designed to create real progress. By integrating principles of positive psychology, we’ll highlight what’s already working well in your life and use those successes as a foundation for continued growth. My methods are rooted in the belief that you are the expert of your own experience. I see myself as a guide and collaborator — helping you uncover your strengths, align your actions with your values, and navigate challenges with resilience. Over time, clients often report increased confidence, improved relationships, a more balanced mindset, and a renewed sense of hope and motivation. If you’re seeking a therapist who emphasizes strengths, forward momentum, and practical change, you’ll hopefully find my approach both encouraging and empowering.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck, but who are also motivated to create change and ready to invest in their growth. My clients often describe themselves as high-functioning and self-aware — people who have tried to “push through” on their own, but are now seeking new tools and perspective to break unhelpful cycles and find greater peace of mind.
