How I can help you
I use holistic and diverse interventions including CBT, psychodynamic, trauma focused CBT, IPSRT, psychological first aid, and systematic therapy. I provide my clients with a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental space where they can vent and receive support. I believe everyone, no matter how severe their issues are, they deserve to be heard and supported.
What I say to people who feel nervous or have concerns about therapy/assessment
It’s expected that you feeling nervous and hesitant to share the most secretive details about your life with a complete stranger. Take your time in opening up. Don’t worry about your what your will say, or how you will sound. The therapy is a safe space for you to express, discover, and find support to your wellbeing.
