My approach to therapy

I never want to be the Wizard of Oz performing magic from behind a curtain. I always try to give a picture of what I'm doing and why because it's part of my role to educate you on how to treat yourself.


I'm also very conscious of the concept of consent in treatment -- you decide your goals, not your therapist. I merely help you get there. Also, you have a right to keep whatever you want to yourself, I just want to ease you into becoming capable and comfortable enough to share when you need to.

What you can expect from me

I hope all my clients are able to take away a sense of increased awareness of what they're doing, to pick a direction, and the ability to steer their lives intentionally.
