Great to meet you!

As your therapist, I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work together to understand and address the issues that may be causing you anxiety, depression, trauma, or anger and are preventing you from living a life of peace, purpose, and meaning.

Many of my clients struggle to trust their own judgment, feelings, or instincts. Together, we'll work on quieting the noise, understanding where the self-doubt comes from, and helping you feel more confident in your ability to make decisions and navigate life without constantly needing a second (or tenth) opinion.

My style is relaxed, collaborative, and conversational. I believe the best therapy happens when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself - messy thoughts, awkward stories, questionable coping mechanisms, and all. We'll work together to make sense of what's going on, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and find practical ways forward.

My approach to therapy

My foundation is psychodynamic therapy, which means we may look at patterns, relationships, early experiences, and the deeper threads that shape how you show up in your life today. But I don’t stop there. I also draw from CBT, trauma-informed approaches, and emotionally focused techniques. Basically, I keep a well-stocked toolbox and choose what fits you, not the other way around.

Some people come in wanting practical strategies they can use right away. Others want to understand why certain patterns keep showing up. Many want a mix of both. We’ll figure that out together, and we can adjust as we go.

Think of it less like following a single map and more like having a guide who’s fluent in multiple navigation system, and occasionally willing to admit when the GPS is being unhelpful.

At the end of the day, therapy with me is tailored, collaborative, and built around you as an individual, not a theory with legs.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will feel much more like a conversation than an interrogation. There are no trick questions, no pop quizzes, and no need to have your life story perfectly organized before you walk in.

I'll ask questions to help me get to know you—what brings you to therapy, what's been going on in your life, and what you'd like to get out of our work together. But this isn't a rapid-fire interview. Think of it more as a guided conversation where we begin connecting the dots and getting a sense of where you'd like to go.

You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. My goal isn't to put you on the spot; it's to create a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. By the end of the session, you'll have a better sense of how I work, and we'll begin identifying what feels most important for us to focus on together.
