Great to meet you!

I’m warm, direct, and deeply empathetic, with a style that balances compassion and honesty.

My approach to therapy

I create a space where clients feel safe but also gently challenged to grow and move forward.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where we begin getting to know each other and what brings them to therapy. In the first session, I’ll ask questions about your history, current concerns, and goals, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. We’ll talk about what you’re hoping to get out of therapy and how I can best support you. I’ll also explain how I work, answer any questions, and review important things like confidentiality. By the end, you should have a clearer sense of the process and feel comfortable taking the next steps together.
