My number one goal is for you to come in feeling that you have entered into a place of safety, healing, compassion, and acceptance. It is my hope that you will feel validated in your feelings and invited to show up authentically, just as you are. In the therapy room I tend to use a mixture of talk-therapy, psychoeducation, experiential therapy, Brainspotting, or somatic work; it just depends on each individual client and their needs/what they respond well to.
