MY APPROACH

---

I approach therapy with the belief that people are not broken—they are patterned. What we struggle with often developed for a reason, even when it no longer serves us.

My work focuses on helping people understand the patterns shaping their thoughts, emotions, and relationships, so they can respond with greater clarity, responsibility, and choice.

Change doesn’t happen through insight alone. Most people already understand what they’re doing and why—yet still feel stuck.

Real change begins when awareness turns inward with responsibility and choice. When patterns are noticed without judgment, people gain the ability to respond differently rather than react automatically.

Therapy isn’t about controlling emotions or eliminating discomfort. It’s about learning how to stay present with what’s happening internally, understand what shaped it, and choose how to move forward with clarity and agency.
