Get to know me

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

Our first session is all about getting to know you—not just your struggles, but your story, your strengths, and what brought you here. You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t even have to know exactly where to start. My job is to create a space where you can exhale—a space that’s judgment-free, pressure-free, and centered on your needs. Here’s how it’ll go: We’ll talk about what’s been on your mind lately and what led you to seek support. I’ll ask some guiding questions to better understand your background and goals. We’ll explore what you want out of therapy and set a direction that feels right for you. Most importantly, we’ll go at your pace. Whether you need to process something heavy or just get a feel for the space—I’m here for it. You’ll leave the session with clarity, compassion, and a sense that you don’t have to carry it all alone anymore.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I tailor each session to meet your real-time needs—because no two people (or healing journeys) are exactly alike. I pull from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – to help you identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy – for when you need clarity, direction, and a plan—fast. Mindfulness & Grounding Techniques – to help calm anxiety, improve focus, and reconnect with your body. Narrative & Strength-Based Approaches – so you can reclaim your story and reconnect with your inner resilience. Psychoeducation & Real-Life Tools – because understanding your emotions is powerful, but knowing what to do with them is even better. I also integrate journaling prompts, reflective exercises, and practical strategies you can take into your day-to-day life—not just tools for crisis, but tools for clarity, growth, and freedom. Whether we’re talking through something heavy or unpacking patterns that no longer serve you, I’m here to make sure you feel seen, equipped, and supported—every step of the way.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I blend real-life strategies with deep emotional work, helping you not just talk about your struggles—but actually move through them. What makes my approach different? Relatable & Rooted – I meet you where you are, using plain language, cultural awareness, and zero pretense. You won’t find any therapy jargon here—just real talk and real progress. Flexible Scheduling for Real Life – I offer Midnight Hour Sessions for night shift workers, students, and entrepreneurs, because healing should fit your schedule, not the other way around. Beyond the Surface – We go deeper than surface-level symptoms. Whether it's anxiety, burnout, relationship patterns, or major life transitions, I help you understand the “why” behind what you’re feeling and support you in creating new patterns that stick. Mind Meets Mission – I work especially well with people who are used to being the strong one—helpers, healers, creatives, and overachievers—guiding you from survival mode to intentional living. The result? You gain tools to feel more grounded, emotionally free, and confident in your own decisions—not just in session, but in real life.
