My Approach

I believe in honest, straightforward conversations, even when the topic is uncomfortable. 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. I pair genuine warmth with a curious, analytical mind, and I'm especially passionate about making space for identity and cultural conversations.

Direct approach: not afraid to challenge you when it serves your growth

Warm with insight: supportive and empathetic, with thoughtful observations

Flexible structure: has a plan but follows your lead when needed

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