About
Roni
I am passionate about human connection and providing a safe space to help clients heal emotional wounds and experience emotional freedom. My hope is to support my clients in developing a sense of choice and mastery over their emotional reactions. My approach to therapy is collaborative, active and explorative.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my rescue dog, being in nature and tasting all types of coffee. I find joy in laughter, music, meditation and relationships.
