TREATMENT APPROACH

I work to create a safe and supportive space where you will feel valued and heard. 

❋

I value cultural diversity in my work and aim to approach it with respect and humility. 

❋

Therapy is collaborative. I will encourage you to take an active role and feel empowered to make choices that align with your needs and values. 

❋

Through exploration of thoughts, feelings, and relational dynamics, you will become aware of parts of yourself that were previously unknown and shift old  patterns that no longer serve you.
