Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe it is important for individuals to have a safe place and someone he/she can trust to freely share their thoughts and feelings with in absence of judgement. As your therapist, I will work alongside with you to actively listen, encourage, empathize, support, and assist/guide your thinking process to find a solution to your problems.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns that impact their emotions & helping them utilize healthier coping mechanisms and behaviors by understanding the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and actions, ultimately empowering them to manage their challenges more effectively.
