My approach to therapy

My approach is collaborative, respectful, and judgment-free. I believe the best outcomes come from building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout your treatment journey.

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and develop a clear understanding of your concerns, goals, and treatment needs. The session typically lasts 60 minutes and is conducted securely through a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.
