Get to know me

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

Our first session will feel like a thoughtful conversation where you can finally take a breath. I’ll invite you to share what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it. Together, we’ll explore your story, clarify your immediate concerns, and start identifying patterns that may be holding you back. By the end of the session, you’ll have a sense of direction, reassurance that you’re not alone in this, and a plan for moving forward.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. In practice, that means helping you notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns, explore the stories you carry about yourself, and build motivation for change in ways that feel empowering. I also integrate mindfulness, stress-management strategies, and culturally responsive practices to address the impact of work stress, racial trauma, and identity on mental health. Every plan is tailored to your unique needs, so you can leave sessions with both insight and practical tools you can use right away.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I specialize in helping clients reduce anxiety and depression while also building resilience and healthier ways to cope with life’s stressors. My strength lies in blending evidence-based strategies with a down-to-earth, collaborative style. I don’t just focus on managing symptoms—I help clients understand the “why” behind their struggles, so lasting change feels possible. Clients often share that they leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can start using right away.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work best with adults and professionals who feel the pressure to hold it all together but are quietly overwhelmed inside. My clients often describe feeling stuck in cycles of high-functioning anxiety, persistent sadness, or burnout from work, family, and personal expectations. They may also be carrying the invisible weight of grief, trauma, or cultural stressors that make daily life heavier than it looks from the outside. If you’re someone who wants to break free from people-pleasing, perfectionism, or constant self-doubt, I provide a safe, affirming space to help you untangle those patterns and rediscover your strength. I especially enjoy supporting clients who value growth, creativity, and authenticity, but struggle to find balance while caring for everyone else.
