What should a new client know about working with you?

I’m direct but gentle, structured but flexible. Therapy with me is a space to laugh, cry, reflect, and grow. I bring my full self, veteran, therapist, and advocate. I invite you to do the same. No masks, no judgment. Just a collaborative journey toward clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally attuned, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Every session is a space for you to exhale. I practice trauma-informed, client-centered talk therapy, meaning we move at your pace, honor your story, and tailor each session to your needs. Whether you're navigating burnout, anxiety, depression, or trauma, I integrate evidence-based modalities like CBT, Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy to support your healing. The First Few Sessions... We start with a collaborative diagnostic process no cold checklists, no judgment. I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, triggers, and goals. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s going on and how we’ll approach it together. What Talk Therapy Looks Like... It’s not just venting it’s strategic, affirming, and empowering. We explore your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, but we also laugh, reflect, and build tools you can use outside the therapy room. I bring clinical expertise and cultural humility to every session, making sure your identity is seen, respected, and centered.
