Philosophy:
I believe that every person deserves a safe and comfortable environment for self-discovery and healing. Practicing from an approach that is grounded in client-centered theory where you know yourself best and can be unconditionally supported in your journey. Through being my authentic self, we can develop a relationship that is grounded in openness and honesty, to learn together how to get you to where you wish to be. While therapy can be intimidating, I hope to create a space where we can join in those difficult moments but also take the time to reflect and enjoy the positive ones as well.
