I OFFER TELEHEALTH SESSIONS. My goal as a therapist is to help you move through challenges and get to a better place in life. Changing the past may not be possible but we can focus on how to make your future more fulfilling. If you're looking for support and direction through a difficult situation or you're ready to make changes in how you live your life, please feel free to email me for the fastest response.
As a mental health therapist, my approach is multifaceted, combining various elements to foster healing and growth. I believe in the power of humor, using it as a tool to create a comfortable and light-hearted atmosphere in therapy sessions.
By weaving humor into our conversations, I aim to alleviate tension and promote a sense of ease, allowing clients to open up more freely. I prioritize building connectiveness and trust, actively listening and empathizing with my clients' experiences. Through genuine connections, I strive to create a safe space where individuals feel understood and supported.
