Answer: Absolutely. I have resources available, including a workbook designed to support you between sessions, and I can recommend exercises, readings, or coping tools to enhance your experience outside of therapy.

13. What should I expect when working with you?

Answer: Clients describe my approach as warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to make therapy feel like a welcoming space where you can be yourself without judgment. My goal is to make therapy feel like a safe, encouraging space that feels like home.
