Approach to Therapy
My approach is based on building strong relationships because trust and compassion is essential for change. I believe, while emotional pain is universal, every person is unique. I listen with empathy and provide honest feedback to help people grow and heal. I have experience with diverse populations in addressing struggles with trauma histories, mood disorders, boundaries, identity, and relationships. I try to help people get through the worst parts of their day right away, but I also work with people to discover what is keeping them stuck in not so helpful patterns.
