Seeking therapy can be an uncomfortable experience that takes a lot of courage. Making an initial appointment is the first step of the process towards healing and becoming the best version of ourselves. Therapy allows self-reflection, support, and insight. I view my clients holistically and work collaboratively with them to have a better understanding of how they live their lives and how to achieve better functioning and life satisfaction.

This way, therapy makes sense and it doesn't feel like someone is trying to change all things that make you wonderful. I utilize many therapeutic approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Solution Focused Therapy; whatever works best for you. I avoid rehashing traumas. If this is your concern, I’ve got you covered. If you’re concerned about saving face, there really isn’t much need to go into too much of the details.
