My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their inner selves, build resilience, and gain deeper self-understanding.My therapeutic approach is holistic and meticulously tailored to each individual's unique journey, aiming to foster self-awareness and promote healing. I view therapy as more than just addressing pain or hardships; it involves reflecting on your experiences, harnessing strength from your personal narrative, and embracing your authentic self.
My background in forensic therapy has afforded me considerable insight into the application of multiple modalities such as: Trauma informed Therapy, CBT, and Emotional Focused Therapy. My clinical expertise encompasses the treatment for a wide range of issues, including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Life Transitions, Family Issues, Stress and Men Issues.
I believe the therapeutic relationship is a core strength in any therapy experience, Therefore I prioritize building rapport and trust with clients to opt-in completing their treatment goals. Let me assist you in understanding overwhelming problems, identifying negative patterns, and empowering you to make meaningful changes.
