I prioritize respect and sensitivity, employing a holistic method that blends cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, neuro-affective, and rational-emotive therapies. Recognizing that everyone’s journey is distinct, I avoid cookie-cutter solutions and pathologizing language, fostering a safe, supportive environment for trauma recovery.
