Sephora believes in cultivating an environment of trust and acceptance for her clients. By considering the narrative of early childhood development, attachment styles, and working to understand the cause of maladaptive behaviors, we can work through and evolve new behaviors in alignment with wellness and fulfillment.  Sephora uses an empathic approach to understand her clients and is motivated by employing therapy modalities in which focus on developing a unique perspective of her client’s strengths such as through person-centered therapy, and strength-based plan for skill development that can be utilized long after therapy is complete.
