THERAPY STYLE

I approach therapy with a warm, person-centered style that honors your unique experiences. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore whatever’s on your mind—ideally without too many awkward silences! I genuinely believe you’re the expert of your own life, so I’m here to encourage your self-discovery and empowerment, often with a sprinkle of humor to keep things light. Together, we’ll build your resilience and craft strategies that align with your values and goals. Ultimately, I want to help you take charge of your story, confidently navigating life’s ups and downs—hopefully while sharing a few laughs along the way!
