My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this method of treatment helping individuals identify and change negative/unhelpful thoughts that lead to distressing emotions and behaviors.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use this method of treatment helping others develop a greater awareness of the present moment, leading to a reduction in stress and anxiety, improving emotional regulation and have a nonjudgemental approach toward one's thoughts and feelings.
