Introduction

Therapy with me is collaborative and centered on creating a comfortable, warm, and supportive space where you feel seen and respected. I believe in identifying and honoring the strengths that already serve you while thoughtfully exploring the areas where growth feels challenging. Together, we reflect, ask meaningful questions, and make intentional decisions that support your goals and evolving sense of self. In session, I emphasize optimism and encouragement while also valuing empowerment, insight, culture, faith (when appropriate), and humor as tools for connection and healing. I understand that challenges may arise throughout our therapeutic journey, and I approach those moments with curiosity and compassion. My work is structured around helping you get to know yourself more deeply so you can gain clarity about your wants, needs, and direction.
