High satisfaction rate with clients
Nice to meet you
I am a down-to-earth person. I provide unconditional positive regard and validate how downright difficult life can be. My clinical skills are based on compassion, autonomy, acceptance, and validation. I also share clinical research and science-based psychoeducation in an understandable way to guide clients in increasing their mental well-being quickly. I teach tangible skills from a proven method and guide clients into understanding their emotions in relationship to their thoughts and behaviors and to feel back in control again. I build trust and rapport and am just a real person passionate about helping people manage uncertainty.
