Get To Know Me
What does a first session with you look like?
In a first therapy session, my focus is on building a strong foundation of trust and rapport between the two of us. Depending on your therapy journey so far (whether you're a therapy newbie or a pro), I will typically start by explaining the therapy process, discussing confidentiality, and outlining the goals for therapy.
During the initial session, I will likely ask you o talk about what brings you to therapy, your personal history, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. This helps me understand your unique situation and tailor the treatment plan accordingly. I would encourage you to ask questions, express any worries you may have, and collaborate with me to set achievable goals (this goes for all our time working together - not just limited to the first session!)
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I would describe my approach as gentle, integrative and collaborative. By integrating various therapeutic techniques and modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness practices, I can tailor the approach used to meet the unique needs of each individual client. This flexibility allows me to draw from a diverse toolbox to address a wide range of issues and help clients achieve their therapeutic goals.
Collaboration is at the heart of my approach, as it emphasizes working together with clients to co-create a path towards healing and growth. By fostering a collaborative relationship built on trust, empathy, and respect, I hope to empower my clients to actively participate in their own healing journey. This shared decision-making process can lead to deeper insights, meaningful breakthroughs, and sustainable change that extends beyond the therapy room.
Embracing an integrative and collaborative approach to therapy not only honors the complexity of each individual but also recognizes the importance of their unique experiences, values, and strengths. By blending different therapeutic perspectives and working hand-in-hand with clients, I aim to create a safe and supportive space for healing, exploration, and self-discovery. Together, we can navigate the challenges, celebrate the victories, and embark on a transformative journey towards holistic well-being.

Work HistoryIn my role as a therapist for the past 5+ years, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through their personal journeys towards healing and growth. Over the years, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, dealing with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Through active listening, empathy, and a non-judgmental approach, I strive to create a safe and trusting space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts and emotions.
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a therapist is witnessing the resilience and courage of my clients as they navigate through difficult times and make positive changes in their lives. I believe in the power of collaboration and empowerment, working together with clients to identify their strengths and develop coping strategies to overcome obstacles. It is truly fulfilling to see clients gain insight, self-awareness, and a sense of empowerment as they work towards achieving their goals and living more fulfilling lives.
As a therapist, I am committed to ongoing professional development and staying abreast of the latest research and therapeutic techniques to better serve my clients. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, effective, and ethical care to support individuals on their path to healing and well-being.
