My Approach to Counseling
My approach to counseling is grounded in a person-centered approach. I believe that everyone has the inherent capacity for growth and healing, especially when supported by a trusting therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a warm, accepting, and inclusive environment so that you can share and explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without fear of judgment. By fostering a genuine connection, I aim to empower you to gain insights, develop self-awareness, and embrace personal transformation on your unique journey toward healing.
