A bit about my approach to therapy

My approaches are inward with somatic experiencing. I have started training in EMDR. I want the client to notice their body and how it tells you what is happening to it. We then take our thoughts to help us understand ourselves better.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients should expect to take away moments of deep reflection with the mind and body. Learning to look and feel somatically to what the body is saying to you.


Destony's style is

Warm
Humorous
Affirming
