As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges, including relationship issues, stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients develop coping strategies, improve communication. As well as Jungian Psychology in order to cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. My goal is to support clients in finding healing, purpose, and inner peace in their lives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where we can get to know each other and discuss their goals for therapy. I will ask questions to gather information about their current challenges, past experiences, and what they hope to achieve in therapy. We will also discuss my approach to therapy and how we can work together to address their concerns. By the end of the session, clients can expect to have a better understanding of the therapeutic process and feel more hopeful about their journey towards healing and personal growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to empathize with my clients and create a non-judgmental space where they feel heard and supported. I also value collaboration and work closely with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans that align with their goals and values. Additionally, my background in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) allows me to offer a well-rounded approach that addresses the complex needs of my clients.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In this approach, I help you be mindful of the thoughts you are entertaining. By identifying whether they are helpful to your current circumstances. And then to dismiss or change unhelpful thoughts to become more helpful; so that you can get through difficult times without putting up mental barriers.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

In this approach, I help you be mindful of the Emotions you are experiencing. By learning how to identify and validate what you are feeling. So that you can empower yourself more than avoid what you are going through.

Attachment-based

In this approach, I help you be mindful of your Attachment style you experience in your relationships. With this increased awareness, we can better navigate how to get your needs met without letting your attachment related insecurities get the best of your relationships.

Jungian

In this approach, I help you become more aware of your unconscious self. By helping you become aware of your defense mechanisms which we all use to avoid feelings about our current reality. As well as exploring the hidden parts of your personality that are repressed, due to negative experiences. That when discovered and embraced can help you form a more complete and individuated self.
