My communication style

I'm proud of having developed my active listening skills. Regardless of what we're discussing, you and what you are sharing are my focus. My communication style is one where it's safe to acknowledge that we are both human beings trying our best. I believe in warmth and laughter, but I will also help you learn to tolerate discomfort.

My journey to mental healthcare

I accidentally read through one of my mom's old psychology textbooks and figured that if I could be that interested, it must be my thing. I've stuck with providing therapy because I love helping people understand that there's nothing wrong with them and that what they do makes sense even if it's not helpful right now.

My goals for you

I believe in having a meaningful treatment plan with measurable objectives that my clients can understand and be excited to work on. We create a treatment plan together and update it as your needs change.

Our first session

Our first session involves questions about where you've been, where you are, and where you want to go in life. It's about getting to know each other and building our relationship. I believe in autonomy. I'll ask questions, but you always have the right to go at your own pace and say that's as much as you want to talk about today.

I identify as...

• Cis, Female
• Black or African American
