About

Greetings, I meet the client were they are, meaning I first check in to see how you are doing and if you are taking care of yourself, mentally, physically, spiritually, etc., and we continue from there. I also want to know about past experiences with therapy, what worked for you and what did not so I do not turn you away with using a technique that did not work for you. I am client centered and culturally aware, being a person of color myself, I have no choice but to be. This is your safe space and I hope to facilitate growth and change.
