Call me and let's get started on your healing journey!
One of the key features of CBT is its focus on homework assignments, which are designed to help clients practice new skills and behaviors outside of therapy sessions.
First session
In the first session, we will start with brief introductions. Subsequently, I will complete a biopsychosocial, which is an approach that systematically considers biological, psychological, and social factors and their complex interactions in understanding health, illness, and mental health care delivery.
Strengths
Clients have often said that I'm easy to talk to, they find me to be empathic and solution focused.

I believe that people are extremely resilient and with the right support anyone can overcome any challenges they may encounter. By encouraging you to build upon personal strengths and suggesting skills that can overcome self-inflicted feelings of hopelessness, I strive to help you develop a more positive attitude.
