Counseling Services

My counseling approach focuses on fostering growth, healing, and personal development through a combination of proven techniques, holistic therapies, and body-centered methods. Building a genuine connection, authenticity, and remaining curious are essential elements of effective therapy in my practice. I provide a safe and supportive environment in our sessions where you can freely explore your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
