What's My Approach to Therapy?

I believe everyone has the potential to reach their desired goals, which is why I take a genuine and compassionate approach that creates a safe place to express oneself while dealing with both external and internal stressors. These may include anxiety, depression, domestic violence, eating issues, mood issues, PTSDtrauma, self-injury, and psychosis.
