Therapy can be scary and intimidating. Being vulnerable isn't easy and opening up to the insecurities that we have is uncomfortable.
I believe in a client-centered approach and incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions. Sometimes all we need is to have someone who we feel understands us without judging us.
Together, we can create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, meaning that I will work with you to identify your goals and tailor our session to meet your unique needs.

During our initial sessions, we will explore issues at hand, create goals to focus on, and set a plan for achieving the goals. Therapy should not be forever; I believe therapy should be used to address problems only and not to vent.
