My Approach

I create a safe, unhurried space where you set the rhythm of our work together. Sessions with me have clear direction: we set goals, track progress, and build practical skills you can use right away. 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.

Gentle pace: moves at your pace, never pushing too hard

Warm & affirming: supportive and validating, creating a safe space

Structured sessions: clear goals, concrete strategies, and actionable steps

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