My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client centered- and trauma informed. I see my clients has whole people and help them consider how trauma might influence their current challenges, mood, behaviors as well as coping mechanisms From there we work together towards repair and creating new narrative that better serve individual's mental and emotional well- being. This understanding guides therapeutic interventions with a focus on safety, trust and empowerment.
