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

The most important part of the first session is for you to check me out. Do I seem like a good fit? The therapeutic relationship is often the most transformational tool in this process. I need to be someone you think you can trust with your vulnerability. I tend to ask a lot of questions about what your are struggling with now, what your history entails, and anything else that will help me begin to understand the context of your current problems.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have a lot of experience in the health care system- navigating insurance companies, behavioral health levels of care, self-management of physical health conditions and community resources that help support people in need. My style of practice is conversational. I love hearing stories and I love telling stories. Stories allow us to see connections we may never have imagined existed. They stimulate imagination which is a powerful tool when we feel stuck. Everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end. I am good at helping people discover their next chapter.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I welcome black and brown people, queer people, and people belonging to marginalized groups. I am also well-positioned to serve people of West Indian descent and first-generation Americans.
