Meet Aigner

I encourage clients to reflect on past experiences, identify current challenges, and gain awareness of patterns and reactions. Through this awareness and an effective therapeutic partnership, we will work together to develop desired goals and various treatment strategies. While I tailor my techniques to fit the needs of each client, one thing that remains constant is my desire to normalize the art of therapy. I spend my sessions not only providing treatment but also creating a safe space. It is not until we feel safe enough to let our guards down, can we truly make progress.
