About

There is a single thing I try to say early: you do not have to hit bottom to deserve help. Waiting until things become unbearable is a habit, not a rule. Before private practice I worked in nonprofit settings, and those years left me allergic to pretense. I work with adults dealing with panic and with the kind of anxiety that hides behind competence. Most of my female clients arrive having held everything together for everyone else; my job is to be the one place where they do not have to. As a therapist of color, I bring lived understanding to conversations that can be tiring to explain elsewhere. I am straightforward: I will tell you what I notice and ask what you make of it. No performance required, no script to follow. If that sounds like relief, reach out and tell me a little about what is going on.
