Message to clients

Hello and welcome to my page! My calling in life has always been to be a psychologist to help people with mental health issues. I hope that you will find me to be a caring and compassionate therapist who will guide you through your healing journey. I am a very egalitarian therapist. I don't believe in "I'm the doctor and you're the patient. I will tell you what to do and you will get better." I see us as equals who will work together as a team for you to build a life worth living, where you thrive and become the best version of yourself.

I don’t believe in just relieving symptoms but in learning to thrive and build a life you love.
