I am glad you are here. Taking the first step can be difficult. My goal as your therapist will be to provide you with a safe and relaxing space filled with understanding and respect. I utilize a person-centered, non judgmental, and strength based approach. Together, we can explore and identify your strengths and positive coping skills as means of addressing your current challenges and past experiences.
