I will ask guiding questions to get an understanding of various aspects of your life including, work, personal life, goals, hopes, areas of growth, and challenges you are seeking support with. The answers will inform the upcoming sessions. Therapy can feel uncomfortable but the first part of the process is getting to know each-other and building a therapeutic relationship.

Therapy sessions are tailored around your life journey so far. I use CBT, DBT and trauma therapy techniques. I would say my style is with therapeutic intent but casual. It is trauma inform and culturally competent. Therapy can be used as a tool for self-reflection, thought processing, feeling heard, self exploration, and possibly being challenged. Therapy is a life asset.
