My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my therapy sessions, I take a modern and engaging approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), making it feel less like a clinical exercise and more like an interactive experience. I blend traditional CBT techniques with real-life applications, using humor, relatable metaphors, and creative exercises to help clients challenge negative thought patterns in a way that feels natural and empowering. Whether it’s reworking cognitive distortions through pop culture analogies, gamifying behavior change, or incorporating mindfulness in a way that fits seamlessly into everyday routines, my goal is to make CBT not just effective but also enjoyable and sustainable.
