Discover the transformative power of therapy tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I excel in helping clients identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. My expertise lies in creating personalized treatment plans that target specific issues and empower individuals to overcome challenges effectively. Through collaborative and evidence-based techniques, I facilitate lasting changes that promote mental wellness and improve overall quality of life for my clients.

Imago Relationship Theory

My experience with Imago relationship theory has been transformative in my practice. Imago theory emphasizes understanding childhood experiences that shape adult relationships, focusing on healing and growth. I integrate Imago principles into therapy sessions by guiding couples to explore their early attachment patterns and communication styles. By fostering empathy, validation, and conscious dialogue, I help couples build deeper connections and resolve conflicts constructively. Imago theory serves as a powerful framework for promoting understanding, intimacy, and long-term relationship satisfaction among my clients.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

In my practice, my experience with Person-Centered Therapy has been incredibly impactful. This approach, pioneered by Carl Rogers, emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness in the therapeutic relationship. I integrate Person-Centered techniques by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood and accepted. By actively listening and empathizing, I help clients explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences without fear of judgment. This fosters self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth. I also encourage clients to set their own goals for therapy, empowering them to take ownership of their healing journey. Person-Centered Therapy forms the foundation of my practice, guiding me to prioritize clients' autonomy, dignity, and inherent capacity for growth. It's a powerful approach that promotes lasting change and enhances clients' overall well-being.
