Drawing from an eclectic approach that includes Somatic Experiencing, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Gestalt Therapy, I tailor our work to your unique needs. This flexible approach allows us to explore what resonates most with you, helping you gain clarity and discover meaningful ways forward.
