Sometimes life hands us circumstances beyond our control. Not sure of what to expect during treatment? Not sure what you want or why? Let's start by exploring what your needs may be right now or the future goals you're still imagining.
In our work together I aim to listen.
My belief is everyone deserves a safe space to be heard. Your feelings are valid! I believe in therapy that includes compassion, curiosity and kindness. My hope is that you leave our work together with new insights exploring things you never considered before!
