Practice Description: |
In everyone's journey, there are times when we feel inadequate, anxious, down, heartbroken, or just lost. If your aim is to boost your emotional well-being, make peace with your past, and create the life you dream of, you've come to the right therapist. Whether it's a tough breakup, grief, work stress, relationship problems, past trauma, or just struggling to get through the day, I'm here to help. My role is to listen, support your growth, and guide you towards becoming the best version of yourself.
My approach blends person-centered, conversational techniques with elements of gestalt, CBT, mindfulness, and childhood trauma therapy. As we navigate through tough times, I believe it's important to delve into your past and uncover the root causes of your current struggles.
I see our counseling sessions as a safe and accepting space where you can freely express yourself and make the most of therapy. I celebrate your individuality and uniqueness as we work towards your goals. I truly believe that understanding and accepting ourselves is the key to genuine growth and healing. I'm excited to embark on this journey with you!
