What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
At your initial therapy session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where your comfort and well-being are our top priorities. Together, we will begin by discussing your concerns, goals, and what brought you to therapy, helping us gain a clearer understanding of your unique needs and experiences. This session is also an opportunity for you to share your story at your own pace, ask questions, and explore how therapy can support your healing and growth. You’ll leave this first session with a better understanding of our approach, a sense of hope, and the start of a personalized plan to guide you toward emotional wellness and empowerment.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people deal with difficult thoughts and emotions by teaching them to accept rather than avoid them. It focuses on mindfulness, staying present in the moment, and recognizing that thoughts are just thoughts—not something to control your life. ACT encourages identifying what truly matters to you (your values) and taking steps to live in line with those values, even when facing challenges. It’s often used to treat anxiety, depression, stress, and chronic pain, helping people live fuller, more meaningful lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. It focuses on identifying negative or unhelpful thought patterns and learning to challenge and replace them with more realistic and positive ones. CBT also teaches practical strategies to manage difficult emotions and change behaviors that may be making problems worse. It’s structured, goal-oriented, and works well for issues like anxiety, depression, stress, and phobias, helping people build healthier thinking and coping skills.
Attachment-based
Attachment therapy focuses on improving emotional bonds and relationships, especially those affected by early-life experiences. It helps people understand how their early relationships, particularly with caregivers, shape their current emotional patterns and behavior. The therapy works to heal attachment wounds, foster secure relationships, and build trust and connection. It’s often used for issues like relationship difficulties, trauma, or struggles with intimacy and emotional regulation, helping individuals create healthier and more fulfilling connections with others.
Humanistic
Humanistic therapy focuses on helping people explore their feelings, self-worth, and potential for personal growth. It emphasizes the belief that everyone has the capacity for self-healing and making positive life changes when given the right support and environment. This therapy is client-centered, meaning the therapist provides empathy, acceptance, and understanding without judgment. It’s often used for issues like low self-esteem, stress, and personal challenges, encouraging individuals to discover their true selves and live more authentically.
