Therapy style

As a therapist, my style embodies a warm, curious, and open approach. My focus is to create a space for you to feel welcomed and one that fosters the emotional safety to be authentically yourself. I believe that therapy can be a process of self-discovery and empowerment, while also providing and teaching the tools to address the stressors and challenges of life. I am here to support you on your journey and while my approach is gentle, I am also your biggest advocate and will provide the accountability to reach your goals and to create the life you envision for yourself.
