Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, my goal is to create a welcoming and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable sharing what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll talk about your concerns, goals, and any questions you have about the process. I’ll ask about your history, current challenges, and what you hope to get out of our work together—but we’ll go at your pace. You don’t need to have all the answers or a perfectly clear plan. This is a space for us to get to know each other, and for you to begin feeling supported as we map out a path forward together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets my approach apart is the balance of empathy, practicality, and cultural responsiveness I bring to the therapy space. I draw from evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and emotional processing, but I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. I take time to understand your unique story—your strengths, values, and lived experiences—so we can tailor our work to what actually resonates with you. I am also a sex-positive therapist, affirming of diverse identities, orientations, and relationship structures. My clients often tell me they appreciate feeling both challenged and deeply supported. Together, we focus on building insight, developing actionable strategies, and creating real, sustainable change in your day-to-day life. Whether you're working through a specific issue or seeking long-term growth, my approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and centered on helping you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m especially well-suited to support clients who are navigating life transitions, managing the emotional impact of ADHD or mood disorders, healing from past experiences, or working to improve their relationships. I support young adults, college students, professionals, and individuals from BIPOC communities who are managing stress or carrying the weight of cultural, academic, or career expectations. Many of my clients are high-achieving yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Some are processing identity-related stress or working through generational patterns that no longer fit. Others are trying to balance ambition with mental wellness, or seeking clarity around relationships, boundaries, and purpose. If you’re feeling stuck but motivated to grow, therapy can be a powerful space to slow down, reflect, and realign with who you want to be. I bring cultural humility, clinical expertise, and a down-to-earth approach to help you feel heard, seen, and supported as you move toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
