High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
My therapeutic approach centers on building strong rapport with patients, providing psychoeducation, and offering constructive feedback to facilitate positive change. I meet patients where they are while also challenging them when necessary for growth. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), problem-solving therapy, and solution-focused techniques to help patients accomplish their goals. My specialties include anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders across all populations. I also have experience working at a gender clinic and can provide resources as needed.
