I believe the foundation of therapy is building a relationship where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and fully yourself. Members have described my style as gently challenging—I'll listen closely, validate what you're feeling, and give you space to express worries and concerns. But I'll encourage you to push beyond your comfort zone a little at a time. When people challenge their fears, the sense of accomplishment is immeasurable. I love seeing Members grow and gain confidence over time. I also have experience treating generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
