First session
My counseling style is collaborative, honest, and interactive. My therapeutic approach is integrated and unique to each client. I use a mixture of Solution-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Strengths
I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming environment while being compassionate and respectful of your thoughts and feelings. I will support you wherever you are in your life’s journey.
Ideal clients
My experiences have addressed various concerns, including depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, grief, and loss. I have also assisted individuals with relationship difficulties, family interaction, parenting issues, and everyday life challenges.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My primary treatment method focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT recognizes how one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. It assists with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and life stressors.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT is a goal-oriented approach to therapy. We will explore your present and future circumstances along with your goals. I will support you in developing solutions that are more effective. SFBT can help with low self-esteem, anxiety, and transitions in life.
Psychoanalytic
We will focus on talk therapy, which helps people understand how their unconscious thoughts and feelings influence their behavior and relationships.
