My approach to therapy is collaborative and tailored to meet your unique needs. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions. I draw from evidence-based practices such as CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, as well as integrating techniques that align with your goals and preferences.
