What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect a warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative therapy experience where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported. I take a relational and culturally aware approach with a strong focus on building authentic therapeutic connections. I believe therapy does not always have to feel overly clinical or intimidating. While it is important to hold space for deep emotions and meaningful healing, I also value the role of humor and laughter when building trust and comfort within a therapeutic relationship.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Early sessions often focus on starting slowly and getting to know one another, allowing trust and comfortability to develop naturally over time. I like to get an idea of who you are and what led you to seek out therapy support. I understand that opening up can feel vulnerable, so I approach every session with patience, warmth, and curiosity. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs. I aim to create an environment where you can show up as yourself without fear of judgement!
