Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help my clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through this process, clients learn to recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. My approach to CBT is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel empowered to challenge limiting beliefs, make meaningful changes, and build lasting emotional resilience.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients cultivate greater psychological flexibility and live in alignment with their values. ACT focuses on learning to accept difficult emotions and thoughts rather than struggling against them, while taking meaningful action toward a more fulfilling life. In our work together, I guide clients in developing mindfulness skills, strengthening self-compassion, and identifying what truly matters to them. This approach supports clients in moving through life’s challenges with openness, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Culturally Sensitive Therapy

I approach therapy through a culturally sensitive and inclusive lens, recognizing that each client’s background, identity, and lived experiences shape how they view themselves and the world. I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood in all aspects of who they are. This means honoring cultural values, family systems, and intersectional identities while exploring how these factors influence emotions, relationships, and coping styles. My goal is to collaborate with clients in a way that affirms their experiences and supports healing that feels authentic and empowering.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I incorporate principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop balance between acceptance and change. DBT focuses on building skills in four key areas—mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—to support clients in managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In therapy, I emphasize practical tools and real-world application, helping clients strengthen self-awareness and navigate challenges with greater calm and clarity. My goal is to help clients create a life that feels more stable, meaningful, and aligned with their values.

Interpersonal

I draw from Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) to help clients explore how their relationships and communication patterns impact their emotional well-being. This approach focuses on improving relationship dynamics, strengthening social support, and addressing life transitions or unresolved grief that may contribute to distress. Together, we work to enhance self-awareness, develop healthier ways of relating to others, and build confidence in expressing needs and boundaries. My goal is to help clients experience more fulfilling and balanced connections in their personal and professional lives.
