My approach to therapy

EMDR, ART, Expressive Art Therapy, Sex Therapy

I view mental health as important as physical health. When an injury/illness occurs, seeking professional intervention, guidance, and support can improve overall wellness. Depending on your physical environment, social circle, culture, religion, heredity, and experiences. Life can look limited. Let's continue to stay curious. There are options out there that do align with you and your values. Let's work together in a healthier and happier you.

What you can expect from me

First session will be all about the assessment and goals for therapy.

It's important to set the goal for each session, while reviewing the issues and concerns from the previous session. It is also important to set the expectations. Therapy will focus on developing the tools that help you accomplish your goals little by little. While adding on/taking away depending on trial and error.
