My approach to therapy
I utilize a person centered approach with aspects of Psychodynamic and DBT theories, to create an empathic, collaborative environment where you are valued as the expert of your lived experience and feel seen and heard in your wholeness.
What you can expect from me
Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another and see if the vibe feels right. I'll ask questions to get a full sense of what brings you to therapy and hope you'll feel comfortable asking questions of me about my role in your therapeutic journey.
