My communication style

I approach my clients with curiosity and non judgement. I honor self determination while also gently challenging clients when they may be acting out of alignment with how they want to show up in their life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've heard many queer POC share that it's difficult to find a compassionate and culturally informed therapist. Being encouraged to reframe how you think can also be frustrating when a therapist is unable to acknowledge the material reality of your mental health concerns. I want to provide care that holds all the nuance of your experience!

My goals for you

Together we can create a treatment plan to work towards your therapy goals with intention. Your goals may often shift with new life developments and insights- we can evaluate and readjust our work as necessary.

Our first session

We'll talk about what's bringing you into therapy and I'll ask about your history. You can also ask me about my therapy practices. We always move at your pace and there's no pressure to share things before you're ready! From there we can assess if it's feeling like a fit for now and move on to setting goals.
