A clinical therapist helps clients understand and address emotional, mental, and behavioral issues through various therapeutic techniques. My goal is to support you in identifying patterns, developing coping skills, and working towards your personal and mental health goals.

The duration of therapy varies from person to person. Some clients benefit from short-term therapy (6-12 sessions), while others may need ongoing support. We’ll continuously assess your progress to ensure therapy remains helpful.
