My Approach

I read the room and adjust, sometimes offering gentle encouragement, other times leaning into tougher conversations. I like to have a loose roadmap while leaving room to explore what shows up in the moment. Therapy with me is a real conversation. I bring my training and perspective, and I genuinely want to hear yours. You'll find me empathetic and encouraging, and I'm especially passionate about making space for identity and cultural conversations.

Balanced pace: moves at a steady rhythm, not rushing or lingering
Warm & affirming: supportive and validating, creating a safe space
Flexible structure: has a plan but follows your lead when needed
True partnership: works alongside you, sharing perspective while inviting yours
