As an adept counselor and psychotherapist, I bring valuable personal insight into mental distress. My approach is centered on attentive listening, empathetic understanding, and creating a secure, non-judgmental, and confidential environment tailored to your needs. Through my practice and own lived experience of mental distress, I've discovered this approach to be immensely beneficial. In my own journey when I initially began therapy, I was anxious and unsure of what to expect. However, I quickly realized its profound benefits for both myself and my family.
