Mental health is often based off mutualistic interactions such as trauma and attachment needs. My approach to my practice is working with clients with unconditional positive regard … Read more

It is from this perspective that I approach the journey of therapy. I hope to offer everyone, big people and our little ones, the opportunity to build their connections, to create new, more intimate tribes … Read more
