MY APPROACH TO THERAPY IS PERSON-CENTERED AND TRAUMA INFORMED, meaning that I prioritize YOU and YOUR unique identities and experiences. It also means that I recognize the impact of both past and present challenges and how they often create natural patterns that can hinder personal well-being. Together, through introspection adn curiosity, we'll work toward an understanding of behaviors, thoughts and emotions, all while building strategies to navigate and reduce life's day-to-day challenges. 

It will also not be uncommon for me to encourage time outdoors in nature, as it offers a serene environment, favorable to self-reflection which can support deeper introspection and healing throughout the therapeutic journey.
