The first session is really about us getting to know one another. It’s a "low-pressure" space where you can share what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. We’ll discuss your history, any current challenges, and start to outline a path forward that feels comfortable for you. Think of it as a collaborative consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

It simply means I don’t try to fit you into a specific "box." Since I draw from CBT, psychodynamic, and person-centered theories, I can pivot based on what you need. If you need practical coping skills today, we can do that. If you want to dive deep into your past and family history tomorrow, we can do that too.

Therapy is about that immediate sense of comfort and trust. If you want someone trauma-informed who understands Black, minority, and queer experiences and values a whole-person mind‑body approach, we could be a good fit.
