Psychologist & Eating Disorder Specialist.
MY THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
As a psychologist, my approach is to first connect with the person in front of me, then understand what brings you to therapy, and then work collaboratively to help you feel empowered to take charge of your life, however that feels or looks for you. It truly is different for everyone.
