My communication style

Working with me feels less like running through a scripted evaluation and more like we're just having a good conversation. I show up as a real person first — warm, curious, and genuinely interested in getting to know you.

My journey to mental healthcare

This work found me through my own life. My family carried mental health struggles quietly for generations. Therapy changed everything for me as a teen. Since then, my ADHD diagnosis, difficult life transitions, and community work have taught me that healing is tangled up with identity, context, and culture. I work in solidarity with my clients.

My goals for you

I really want your time and effort in therapy to feel meaningful. We'll work together in the first few sessions to establish a few goals that will target what you need from our work together. I enjoy tailoring our work together around what feels practical and realistic to you.

Our first session

The first few sessions are really about building an understanding of what you need from therapy. We'll move at a pace that feels comfortable but productive, and build from there. Progress looks like feeling more like yourself — less exhausted, less stuck, more focused and grounded in daily life.
