Therapy Style
My therapeutic style can be described as client-centered. I am extremely passionate about meeting a client where they are through empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. Additionally, providing a safe and non-judgmental environment for the client to share.
My motto is, "We all have the answers to our problems, we just need someone that will listen attentively and help to navigate life's stressors."
