My approach to therapy

I started my journey as a therapist to motivate, empower, and advocate for the most vulnerable people in our society. I have expounded on my passion as a therapist by incorporating a combination of Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative and Solution Focused therapy approaches.

What you can expect from me
