High satisfaction rate with clients

Nice to meet you

I have a direct and compassionate style that emphasizes wellness. I connect with clients through humor, noticing the strengths they bring to therapy, and excitement about the work ahead. I want to understand your goals and help you develop the steps to achieve them. I create a space where it’s safe to be fully yourself with the full range of emotions. I help clients appreciate their emotions rather than fight them, respond rather than react, and understand the reasons behind their experiences.
