During our initial session, we will focus on establishing rapport and then proceed to explore the specific challenges you are encountering. This will provide me with the necessary insights to devise a personalized plan for our subsequent sessions.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been using cognitive behavioral techniques for the past ten years. I started learning this approach when I was a residential counselor working with children in group homes. In practice, I use this technique to help individuals recognize and challenge cognitive distortions and unhealthy patterns that impact them mentally, physically, and emotionally.I've been using cognitive behavioral techniques for the past ten years.

Compassion Focused
I implement compassion-focused therapy techniques to aid individuals in fostering a non-blaming, compassionate understanding of themselves and others. I prescribe homework aimed at nurturing the capacity to cultivate and experience compassionate qualities, including self-compassion, openness to receiving compassion, and the ability to feel compassion towards others.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I've been using the person-centered technique for 20 years. It is the core treatment theory that I learned to apply since my undergraduate studies. In practice and in my personal life, I apply the theory of allowing people to feel safe in being human, free from judgment.
