I work with teens, young adults, and millennials—especially men and people of color—who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, and past experiences that may still be impacting them.
I work with teens, young adults, and millennials—especially men and people of color—who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, and past experiences that may still be impacting them.
I focus on creating a space that feels real, supportive, and easy to step into, while helping you better understand yourself, your needs, and build the clarity and confidence to move forward.
First session
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about what you’ve been experiencing, what goals you may have for therapy, and any background that may help provide context. There is no pressure to have everything figured out right away—this is simply a space for you to share at your own pace. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported while we begin identifying areas we can work on together. By the end of the session, we will also discuss next steps and what the therapeutic process may look like moving forward.
Strengths
A big part of my work focuses on trauma—because many of us have experienced things that still shape how we think, feel, and show up in relationships. I help clients understand their triggers, make sense of their experiences, and shift patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is collaborative and centered around you, exploring how your past shows up in the present while building practical tools and a clearer sense of who you are and how you want to move forward.
