My treatment methods

Compassion Focused

I use compassion focused therapy along with person centered techniques to support clients through difficulty times; breaking the cycles of shame and self-criticism.

I help clients control their negative thoughts and teach them to use positive self talk and positive thinking to manage their feelings.

Strength-Based

I used strengths based therapy to help clients focus on where they are doing well, and help them to generalize that to other areas.
