Therapy style
My style of therapy is genuine, warm, nonjudgmental, funny, and experiential. The most important part of therapy is feeling safe, seen, and understood by your therapist. I hope to build a connection with you so that we can explore your challenges with curiosity and kindness. It takes courage to lean into the uncomfortable parts of life, but I will be with you every step at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we will help you learn, grow, and become more confident in who you are.
