A bit about my approach to therapy: As an LMFT specializing in trauma, my therapeutic approach is founded on a holistic and client-centered perspective. My chosen treatment modalities and interventions are selected and adjusted based on you, your goals, and what we are focusing on. Collaboration plays a vital role in our work together, as I deeply value your expertise in your own life.
What you can expect from our first session: I believe in tailoring each therapy session to your unique needs and experiences, ensuring that your quest toward healing is personalized and meaningful.
