As a trauma informed therapist, my approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore experiences and emotions while being supported and understood. I prioritize empathy, collaboration, and emotional safety and honor the trust my clients place in me by creating a space where they can safely explore their innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. My approach is integrative, drawing from various evidence-based practices that aid to rebuild a sense of safety and empowerment in one's life.
In our sessions, you will find a warm and welcoming space where your story is heard and valued. Together, we will explore your strengths, develop coping strategies, and work towards a more fulfilling and balanced life.
I believe in the power of healing through connection and understanding. In understanding the profound impact trauma can have on every aspect of life, I am committed to working at your pace, respecting your boundaries and empowering you to take control of your healing journey.
