What can I expect in my first few sessions with?

The first sessions are about getting clear on what has been weighing on you and what you want to change. We will talk through the challenges you are facing and begin noticing patterns that may be holding you back. I use mindfulness to help you stay steady in the moment and cognitive restructuring to push back against negative or unproductive thoughts. These early sessions are not about judgment or lectures. They are about building trust, being real, and giving you tools you can use right away so progress feels possible from the start.

What makes you different from other therapists?

What makes me different is the way I combine processing emotions with learning practical techniques you can use right away. Together we will explore what you are feeling, reduce symptoms, and better understand the patterns connected to your emotions. At the same time, I will give you tools to cope more effectively and handle life’s challenges with greater confidence. My style is down to earth, supportive, and direct. I use evidence based approaches like CBT and ACT, which means we focus on both building healthier ways of thinking and staying steady in the present. Therapy with me is not just about talking. It is about gaining clarity, skills, and a better way forward. My goal is for every session to feel meaningful and relevant to your life.

What inspired you to become a therapist?

I became a therapist because I wanted to dedicate my work to helping people overcome challenges and move toward a better life. Over the years I have seen how therapy can give people the tools to handle stress, rebuild after setbacks, and create healthier relationships with themselves and others. What inspires me most is watching clients walk into therapy feeling weighed down and leave with a clearer sense of strength and direction. Being able to support that kind of transformation is not just meaningful to me, it is why I chose this career.
