My Approach
Collaborative Space for Meaningful Growth and Change
Authentic, Direct, and Supportive Counseling that Meets You Where You Are Without Judgment.
What to Expect
I value communication and transparency with my clients. Here is what you can expect from the moment you connect with me:
Free Consultation
I provide a short consultation where we talk about what brings you to therapy and the logistics of your therapy. If you feel I am a good fit, we schedule our first session.
Initial Session
During your first session, I will ask several questions that will help me get to know you and your couple or family dynamics. We’ll discuss your current challenges and create initial goals for our time together.
Ongoing Sessions
This is the time where we engage in meaningful work, addressing your concerns in a way that aligns with your personal goals. I sit with you through the difficult moments, helping you recognize and build on your strengths to deepen connection.
Conclusion
Together, we work toward leaving therapy with a sense of shared strength, emotional connection, and the confidence to navigate stressors as a cohesive unit.
A Background of Empathy
Shaped by Experience, Focused on You
I’ve been through seasons of life that were heavy, uncertain, and deeply personal. Those experiences shape the way I approach therapy with empathy, steadiness, and deep respect for whatever you may be carrying.
