I will genuinely be interested in you and how you want to progress. I wear many "hats" as a therapist (e.g., listener, coach, guide, problem-solver) and tailor my approach to what each client is hoping to obtain from therapy.
We will work together to understand your problems and symptoms (and how they interact) followed by implementation of practical and research-driven solutions all couched in a nurturing and collaborative environment.
