My Approach to Therapy
I believe therapy should be a relaxed and collaborative process. I hope to help you identify your strengths and dreams to create the life you want. My role is to help guide you through this process while your role is to show up and be the expert of your life. Therapy is an active process meaning you must be willing to put in the work to get something out of the process.
