I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families seeking growth and understanding, who may be grappling with issues like life transitions, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or identity exploration. My ideal client is seeking a non-judgmental space to explore thoughts and emotions, aiming for self-awareness, healing, and effective coping with life challenges. Motivated by a desire to help my clients live authentically and thrive, I value therapy as a path to personal transformation, seeking to help clients find clarity, resilience, and a fulfilling life aligned with their values and aspirations. I practice a client-centered, integrative approach, and respect my clients as experts in their own lives. My style is direct yet warm, drawing from theories like attachment theory, internal family systems, and somatic theory. This approach allows me to meet diverse client needs and create a collaborative environment for healing and growth. Therapy can be challenging, yet immensely rewarding when there's a strong therapeutic relationship between therapist and client, combined with mutual active engagement in the therapeutic process. Through this collaborative approach, I aim to empower clients to embrace the difficulties they face!
