As a practitioner, I would describe myself as warm, attentive, reflective, and collaborative. I don't see myself as someone who simply provides advice or tells clients what they should do. Instead, I aim to work alongside clients to understand what is happening, consider different perspectives, and identify what feels most useful for them. My style can be both reflective and practical. When appropriate, I am comfortable being more directive and offering concrete strategies, tools, or psychoeducation, while at other times I find it more valuable to slow down and explore an experience in greater depth. I also believe there is room for humor in therapy. While I take the work seriously, I don't believe every moment needs to be serious, and I am comfortable allowing warmth, spontaneity, and humor to be part of the therapeutic relationship when it feels natural and appropriate.

Clients can expect sessions to be responsive to what they need at that particular point in therapy. Some sessions may be more structured, particularly when there is a specific concern or goal to address, and we may use practical tools or evidence-based strategies to work toward it. Other sessions may be more fluid and exploratory, allowing space to reflect on emotions, relationships, personal history, or recurring patterns. I integrate approaches including CBT, DBT, and EMDR-informed interventions alongside relational, psychodynamic, existential, and narrative perspectives. Rather than following a rigid formula, I draw from these approaches based on the individual and the concerns we are working with. I engage with clients through active listening, thoughtful questions, reflection, and collaborative exploration. I want clients to feel that we are genuinely working together, while also ensuring that sessions have enough direction and purpose to feel useful and relevant to their goals.
