Summary
I believe meaningful change occurs when individuals feel deeply understood within the context of their relationships and life experiences. I view symptoms not as pathology, but as adaptive responses shaped by lived experiences and relationship dynamics. My clinical style is guided by empathy and a commitment to honoring each client's story while supporting intentional growth and healthier connection.
