| Practice Description: |
My practice philosophy centers around meeting each client where they are, creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where healing can unfold at a comfortable pace. I believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms, and I aim to empower clients through education, practical strategies, and emotional support. My professional experience spans over two decades in mental health, providing compassionate care to individuals facing various challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship issues. I specialize in creating individualized treatment plans that focus on long-term well-being rather than quick fixes. By integrating evidence-based approaches and maintaining a strong focus on empathy, I help clients build resilience and take charge of their mental health journey. I am committed to fostering trust and a deep sense of safety, knowing that healing thrives in a relationship built on respect and collaboration.
