Therapy style

My person-centered approach is focused on fostering a genuine connection and honoring your unique journey. As a holistic therapist, I integrate mindfulness and somatic practices to help increase awareness and cultivate self-compassion. Clients can expect a warm and affirming space for self-exploration. I aim to listen deeply and assist you with developing a greater awareness of yourself and help you achieve your goals. I believe that therapy isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you; it's about cultivating a healthier, more resilient mindset to help you live a fuller authentic life.

Interests
