Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Although I like to tailor sessions to fit the need of the individual client, CBT is the most commonly used treatment method in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behavior patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Marvia was incredibly warm, genuine, and easy to talk to. In our first session, I felt safe, heard, and completely welcomed. She has a great way of helping you untangle what’s going on and find clarity without feeling pressured. Her natural sense of humor made everything feel lighter and more comfortable. Overall, a truly supportive and refreshing therapist to work with.
