In my practice, I prioritize the establishment of genuine connections with my therapy clients above all else. I firmly believe that fostering rapport is the cornerstone of effective therapy. To achieve this, I leverage a unique approach that centers around exploring and embracing my clients' hobbies and interests.

By delving into what matters most to them outside the therapy room, I gain invaluable insights into their personalities, values, and aspirations. Thus, advertising my own love of art, books, video games and Table-Top Roleplaying Games, is important to me and my clients.
