Take the First Step Towards a Happier You

• Are you feeling stuck?

• Ready for a positive change, but unsure how to get there?

You are already wired for happiness and growth. My core belief is simple: Change is always possible. Sometimes, we just need a little guidance to unlock the answers within. Seeking assistance is a sign of wisdom, not weakness, and I am here to provide the professional support you need to move forward.

My Approach: Personalized & Proven

Therapy with me is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I tailor my sessions to meet your unique needs by drawing on multiple, effective therapeutic models:

• Psychodynamic: Exploring the roots of current issues.

• Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT): Changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.

• Humanistic & Person-Centered: Focusing on your inherent strengths and personal growth.

How We'll Work Together

1. Initial Assessment: We'll clearly define your goals and challenges.

2. Strong Relationship: I prioritize building a trusting, supportive therapeutic connection.

3. Active Engagement: We will work together, both in sessions and sometimes through suggested activities, to increase your self-awareness and move you closer to achieving the life you want.
