I have experience in using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients navigate a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. I work with individuals struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and emotional dysregulation. Through CBT, I help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns, while DBT provides clients with tools to manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal skills, and enhance emotional resilience. My approach is client-centered, offering tailored support to empower individuals in creating meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational approach to help clients address and reframe negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and behavioral challenges. Through CBT, I guide clients in identifying distorted thinking, such as self-criticism or negative self-talk, and work with them to replace these patterns with healthier, more realistic perspectives.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop effective coping skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal relationships. DBT combines mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help clients navigate life’s challenges with greater balance and resilience. I work with clients to build awareness of their emotional responses, validate their experiences, and introduce strategies to reduce emotional reactivity and increase emotional stability.
