Great to meet you!
I am not the expert on your life; you are! My goal is to share information with you and empower you to make decisions. I believe healing begins with dignity. Every person deserves to feel safe. Every person deserves to feel heard. Every person deserves to feel loved. Every person deserves the opportunity to heal without shame. My role has never been to tell people who they should become. My role is to create spaces where they can safely discover the healthiest version of who they already are.
My approach to therapy
I believe therapy can be life-changing as well as fun. There is beauty in doing the work. Sometimes you have to get uncomfortable to get comfortable.
What you can expect from me
Establishing rapport and gathering background information: problem identification and initial goal setting.
