What therapy with me feels like

Warm, but honest.
I’ll meet you with compassion while also gently challenging patterns that may no longer be serving you.

Practical, not just conversational.
Insight matters—but so does knowing what to do when anxiety shows up on a Tuesday morning before work.

Culturally responsive.
Your culture, identity, family, relationships, responsibilities, and lived experiences belong in the room.

Whole-person.
We can explore what’s happening in your thoughts while also paying attention to your body, emotions, relationships, environment, and nervous system.

Collaborative.
I’m not here to tell you how to live your life. We work together to discover what fits you.
