Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when people feel heard without judgment and supported in making meaningful, lasting changes. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in helping clients develop healthier patterns, stronger relationships, and greater resilience in everyday life.
My approach to therapy is person-centered, relational, and practical. I draw from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused therapy, interpersonal work, and Gottman-informed relationship interventions. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building realistic tools for growth, communication, emotional regulation, and coping. I strive to create a space that is supportive, honest, and focused on sustainable change rather than quick fixes.
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a comfortable and collaborative therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, the challenges you are facing, and what you hope to gain from counseling. I also want to understand your strengths, supports, and personal goals so we can create a plan that feels meaningful and realistic for you. Clients can expect a calm, conversational environment where they do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy.
