My communication style

I view the therapeutic session as a sacred, soft place to land. You can approach topics or concerns that are meaningful to you with empathy, support, kindness, compassion, and consistency. You'll experience unconditional positive regard.

My journey to mental healthcare

My focus is being a journey partner in your growth and development. I'm committed to creating an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environment where you feel heard, understood, and cared for.

My goals for you

Goals are client-driven. In initial sessions, you'll share what you expect from therapy. I partner with you in breaking down goals into smaller steps, guide our work in relation to these goals, and identify goal-related themes. Some goals are concrete; others involve feeling life is less of a struggle or coping with marginalization.

Our first session

In our first session, you'll begin sharing what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. We'll start outlining your goals together and discuss how we'll work toward them. You can expect a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe to be yourself.
