What can I expect in my first few sessions with?

In the first few sessions of therapy I focus on building comfort, safety, and connection with clients. Part of this is orienting clients to how therapy works, discussing confidentiality, and answering any initial questions. Early sessions are also an opportunity for me to learn clients stories, including what has brought them to therapy, their current concerns, and the changes or goals they would like to work toward. I ask about personal history, life circumstances, and coping strategies that have been used in the past and together, we begin to clarify therapy goals that are both meaningful and achievable.

Therapy is collaborative. I will listen for themes and patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to clients current challenges which allow for deeper work and helping clients increase awareness of what keeps them feeling stuck. Practical tools and strategies are introduced and clients are encouraged to try new approaches, reflect on what works, and bring that feedback into our sessions.

The work of change requires establishing trust which takes time and clients will always have choice and control over how much they share and at what pace.

What makes you different from other therapists?

As a therapist, I believe healing happens through a balance of warmth, honesty, and practical support. My priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel deeply heard and understood while also gently challenging them to explore new perspectives and possibilities. Therapy for me goes beyond symptom management. I’ll work together with clients to uncover who they are, what matters most to them, and how to build relationships and a life that feel authentic and fulfilling. I’ll help clients uncover patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and provide both meaningful insights and practical tools that can be applied in daily life. My approach is collaborative and empowering, supporting clients in taking confident steps toward the growth and change they’re seeking.

What inspired you to become a therapist?

I was inspired to become a marriage and family therapist because I believe deeply in the power of relationships and the human capacity to heal and grow. I’ve seen how supportive, honest conversations can shift the way we see ourselves and our connections with others. I’ve always been drawn to listening, understanding, and helping people make sense of their experiences. Witnessing clients discover their strength, gain clarity, and create more authentic and fulfilling relationships, with others and with themselves, continues to inspire.
