My Approach

I read the room and adjust, sometimes offering gentle encouragement, other times leaning into tougher conversations. I let our sessions follow what feels most alive for you. Some of the best breakthroughs come from unexpected places. Therapy with me is a real conversation. I bring my training and perspective, and I genuinely want to hear yours. I pair genuine warmth with a curious, analytical mind, 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 with insight: supportive and empathetic, with thoughtful observations

Open exploration: follows where the conversation naturally goes

True partnership: works alongside you, sharing perspective while inviting yours
