I take a compassionate non-judgmental approach to therapy, focusing on personalization and helping you find a sense of vitality in your life. When tailoring therapy to your individual needs, I begin by learning about your unique story and understanding your circumstances—emotional, physical, and relational factors. I might use a combination of approaches, depending on your preferences and goals. This integrative approach may draw from various schools of thought—cognitive behavioral, experiential, mindfulness, etc.
