1. Services Provided

As a licensed therapist, I am dedicated to providing professional and compassionate therapeutic services. My goal is to support you in your personal growth and mental well-being. Please note that therapy is a collaborative process, and while I will do my best to guide you, outcomes may vary based on individual circumstances. Therapy is not a replacement for medical treatment, so please consult your healthcare provider for any medical concerns.

Your privacy is incredibly important to me. All sessions and communications are confidential, except in cases where disclosure is required by law (such as threats of harm to self or others). For more details on how I handle your information, please review my Privacy Policy.

3. Booking and Payments

  • All sessions must be booked through my official booking system.

  • Payment is due at the time of booking unless we’ve agreed otherwise.

Therapy works best when you’re actively engaged in the process. I encourage you to show up for yourself, share openly, and be patient with the journey. Remember, small steps can lead to big changes.
