As a therapist, I understand that the decision to pursue therapy can be a difficult one. Thus, my goal is to create a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, emotions, and behavioral patterns. I prioritize working at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual client as I understand that experiencing vulnerability or revisiting difficult experiences can be overwhelming. While everyone has the tools within themselves to flourish, life experiences can make it challenging to connect with those strengths and abilities.
