My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and integrative. I draw from evidence-informed practices and from person-centered, CBT-informed, systemic, and narrative perspectives, adapting the work to each client’s needs, pace, and goals. Rather than working rigidly from one model, I value tailoring the therapeutic process to the individual, combining emotional exploration, practical coping strategies, and reflective work in ways that best support each person. I place strong importance on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered toward meaningful change.
