Therapy style

My style is rooted in intuitive knowledge and a firm belief that people have the innate wisdom and ability to help themselves arrive at healing, especially when addressing internal struggles and social influences. I am very client-centered and eclectic, orchestrating a collaborative approach that means a lot to me. I also consider the whole person, not only their internal struggles but also their social symbols in the world, which heavily influence their experiences as they walk through life. I love providing a safe and brave space for those not always seen or heard. Awareness is key; once you have that, you can decide which direction to go next. You have the magic and are the expert of you. My role is to help you tap into that magic to decode and unravel what it looks and feels like to operate and live from your highest self.
