My approach is grounded in the understanding that early life experiences can shape patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating that may emerge across the lifespan, influencing how individuals respond to stress, relationships, and life transitions. Therapy doesn't always have to be about change; it can be about curiosity and exploration.
