Carl Rogers said it best: “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy.” As a therapist, I strive to provide that rare and transformative experience of being deeply heard and understood. Through empathetic listening and genuine collaboration, I help my clients navigate life’s challenges and embrace their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
