What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me means entering a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can drop the pressure to "have it all together." Therapy isn't about me giving you advice—it’s a partnership where we work together to understand what’s driving your anxiety, overthinking, or relationship stress. You can expect an active, empathetic listener who balanced gentle support with practical, real-world tools. I welcome open feedback, honor your pace, and tailor our sessions so you feel truly heard, respected, and empowered from day one.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our journey together typically follows three steps: 1. Initial Consultation & Intake: We’ll explore what brought you to therapy, your current challenges, and relevant background. Together, we’ll clarify what meaningful relief and progress look like for you. 2. Uncovering Root Causes & Skill Building: We identify the underlying patterns—like overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism—and practice practical strategies to regulate your nervous system, set healthy boundaries, and reframe negative self-talk. 3. Integration & Long-Term Growth: As you begin applying these insights in your daily life, sessions transition into refining your tools, strengthening your relationships, and solidifying a grounded sense of self-confidence that lasts well after therapy ends.
