My background & approach

My approach is holistic, focusing on addressing the entire system—mind, body, and emotions. I believe in the interconnectedness of these elements and strive to create a balanced and integrative therapy experience. By considering how your mental health issues impact your physical well-being and emotional state, I tailor my sessions to provide comprehensive support.
