That’s a completely normal question, therapy and coaching are personal, and it’s important to find an approach that feels right for you. That’s why I offer a free consultation, giving you the chance to explore how I work with no pressure.

As my work reaches more people, I understand that different styles resonate with different individuals. What I focus on is delivering results, many of my clients come back, refer others, and report meaningful, lasting change. In the end, outcomes speak louder than opinions.
