Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all treatment modality. Therapy is an opportunity to build skills that you can utilize during and beyond therapy, throughout the many chapters of life. My aim is to help facilitate conversations with curiosity, humor, empathy, and flexibility that explore root causes of patterns and cycles that we all get stuck in.
