Nice to meet you
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and pragmatic. I work with individuals facing anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression, along with the challenges these can create, such as maladaptive habits, relationship struggles, and avoidance. I focus on getting to the root causes as well as addressing symptoms. By learning your history, we can explore the thoughts, beliefs, and habits that maintain current struggles and work together toward meaningful change and healing.
