Together, we can collaborate on how to address the issues you are coming in with through activities, psychoeducation, art, grounding activities, music and more.

While it is important to identify your challenges, it is equally essential to identify your progress.

Therapy is an art, not a science. Since every person is a unique individual, therapy will vary depending on the persons involved. Hence, there can be no one approach to therapy which works for everyone. To facilitate change, different techniques may be used. However, the forging of a therapeutic alliance is essential for change. Research has shown that a successful outcome in therapy depends on this. In humanistic psychology, emphasis is placed on self-actualization. A propensity to self-actualize is presumed to exist in all persons. Karen Horney made the following analogy to illustrate this phenomenon.

I believe in the individual's voice and therapist's non-judgmental approach as driving forces in building a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship.
