About me and my therapy practice
This is great. Your first step towards exploring what’s been going on for you, life challenges, old and new, adult and childhood experiences. I am here to support your exploration, with kindness and curiosity. I have 14 years of mental health experience, and nearly 50 years of life experience. I am open, nonjudgmental, and will enable you to feel safe and understood as we navigate this new part of your journey. Looking forward to meeting you.
