Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Clinical psychologyRecommended for those who need help with diagnosing and treating more complex mental health issues, often involving assessments and evidence-based treatments.
My approach to therapy is client-centered and integrative, with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe in tailoring my methods to meet the unique needs of each individual, focusing on evidence-based practices to help clients develop practical skills for managing their mental health. I emphasize creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered to explore their thoughts and emotions. By working collaboratively, I aim to help clients build resilience, overcome challenges, and achieve their personal goals.
