My approach to therapy is to really get to know you, have a clear understanding of how you see the world, and understand what led you to your way of thinking.

Therapy style
My approach to therapy is to really get to know you, have a clear understanding of how you see the world, and understand what led you to your way of thinking (Is that you or your mom talking?) I bring warmth, empathy, and a bit of humor into the therapy room. When working with me, I will create a safe, judgment-free space for us to dive deep into the root of your suffering is so we can untangle those pesky issues that are bringing your life down. I have been practicing therapy for over 8 years and my passion in life is helping others heal.
