Nice to meet you
My therapeutic style is humanistic and relational. I believe healing begins with genuine human connection, which fosters safety and allows the therapeutic relationship to drive change. In our work together, you’ll find that I’m humorous, encouraging, nurturing, and collaborative. I value authenticity and bring it into every session. I integrate psychodynamic, humanistic, and behavioral therapy models to guide the process and promote meaningful growth.
