My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels.

She is very encouraging and makes me feel like I am doing my best while also trying to be my best self. I think everyone should have someone they can talk to who is a neutral party and can see things from another perspective. This experience has made me a strong advocate for self-care in the mental space.
