My communication style

It can be intimidating to sit down and speak with a stranger about what's going on in your life. There is nothing wrong with asking for help and guidance. By choosing to come to therapy, you are taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life. I tell my clients, “This is YOUR session”.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was inspired by my late mother and my late father to become a therapist. Growing up, my mother was always there with a listening ear for those in need. My father was a substance abuse counselor in the State of Virginia prison system.

My goals for you

I like goal setting to be a collaborative approach. These are your goals, so you should have input on what you would like to work towards.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll begin identifying goals and the best approach to support you. This is a safe space where you can share openly at your own pace.
