Therapy style
Are you currently grappling with feelings of stress, anxiety, or sadness? If so, I'm here to offer my assistance. My approach centers on meeting individuals at their unique points in the journey toward healing and guiding them beyond the obstacles that may be hindering progress. In my practice, I strive to cultivate a compassionate, uplifting, and non-judgmental environment, where each person feels empowered and validated. I believe in the significance of fostering a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective, which allows us to explore our past and fears with curiosity, kindness, and courage.
