Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
Solution-focused therapyRecommended for those who want quick, practical solutions to their problems without focusing too much time on the past.
Therapy starts with understanding your situation deeply. I want to know exactly what you are experiencing before we explore change.
Together, we identify unhelpful thought patterns and learn new ways of thinking, helping you develop a more stable and positive perspective on life.
We also explore your strengths and personal resources. By reflecting on your life story—from childhood to now—we discover what has helped you grow and survive, and how you can use these strengths to create a meaningful future.
My approach is practical and value-based: I help you take action on what matters most, even when anxiety or other emotions are present. For example, we work on doing important things (like taking an exam or speaking up) while managing anxiety, rather than letting it control your decisions.
Together, we turn insight into action and help you create the life you truly want.
