Nice to meet you
My approach is collaborative and relationship-centered, grounded in the belief that meaningful progress begins with a strong therapeutic connection. I understand that people often carry complex, layered experiences, and I take time to understand the context that makes your situation unique. Early treatment typically focuses on building resources to manage distress and create a steady foundation before moving into deeper work. Together, we can explore what brings you in and clarify your goals for treatment.
