My approach to psychotherapy is strength-based, person-centered and rooted in depth psychology. While I consider my therapeutic style to be warm, interactive, and empathetic, I am also not afraid to take a stand for you when necessary. I pride myself in my integrity, authenticity, and perseverance; expect to be treated with care, respect, and non-judgment.
