My counseling style is solution focused and instructional. I believe that we are all seeking relief from our symptoms before we can start processing our traumas. I am honest and will be very upfront with you. Giving you tools to use today.
We'll explore your relationships, attachments, sense of self, and how past experiences still impact you today. I'm happy to support those undergoing major life transitions, working through trauma, navigating identity questions, or seeking growth.
