MY APPROACH

In my practice, I view therapy as a collaborative and transformative process. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings.

During our initial sessions, I take the time to learn about your unique background, experiences, and the circumstances that bring you to therapy. This allows us to work together to determine if we are a good fit for one another. I emphasize the importance of establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, grounded in trust, openness, and flexibility. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your story, knowing that I am here to listen without judgment.

As we move forward, my approach balances addressing immediate concerns with fostering a deeper understanding of your emotional experiences. I focus on building empathy and respect in our relationship, which allows for meaningful exploration of thoughts and feelings that may not always be readily accessible. I believe that even subtle emotions can hold significant insights, and together we can uncover these layers.

I value the strengths you bring to therapy—qualities and abilities that you might not recognize in yourself. Acknowledging these strengths can be a powerful catalyst for change. I am dedicated to helping you cultivate self-compassion and resilience as you navigate life's challenges.

Throughout our work together, I will offer guidance and support as you confront obstacles and seek new perspectives. I am committed to providing the space for you to express your feelings, explore new ideas, and develop a deeper sense of self-awareness.
