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’s bringing you to therapy. You’re welcome to share at your own pace — there’s no pressure to tell your whole story right away. I’ll ask some gentle questions about your current challenges, your history, and your goals, so we can begin to understand the bigger picture together. My priority is creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. We’ll also talk about what therapy might look like moving forward and answer any questions you have about the process. Think of it as the start of a collaborative journey — one where you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my approach is the combination of emotional depth and practical support. I offer a warm, grounded presence where clients can explore grief, identity, and relationship patterns without judgment. I integrate evidence-based methods like emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness, and attachment-informed work, while tailoring each session to the client’s pace and needs. Clients often share that they feel deeply seen in our work together — that therapy with me feels both safe and meaningful, with space for insight, self-compassion, and lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults navigating grief, shifting peer relationships, and major life transitions. Many of my clients appear high-functioning but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected beneath the surface. Whether you’re processing a loss, outgrowing old roles, or struggling to feel understood in your relationships, I offer a compassionate, grounded space to explore what you’re carrying and reconnect with your sense of self. My approach is collaborative, affirming, and rooted in helping you build clarity, self-trust, and emotional resilience.
