I aim to create a safe space where clients can share their worries and fears without judgment or punishment. I focus on helping them reshape negative thought patterns and develop strategies to achieve their goals. By being relatable and sharing appropriate stories from my own life, I work to build empathy and trust. I also emphasize the importance of recognizing every bit of progress, no matter how small, ensuring it never goes unnoticed or unpraised.

In my counseling approach, success is achieved when a client has mastered the coping and cognitive-behavioral strategies we’ve developed together and has reached the goals they set for themselves. My ideal client is a child who struggles to connect with others—whether they are withdrawn or prone to lashing out. These children often need positive affirmation, effective coping strategies, and support in managing complex emotions. They want to feel accepted, make friends, and know they are not alone.
