Integrative
Integrative therapy allows me to thoughtfully combine different therapeutic methods to create a path that fits your unique needs, drawing on traditions such as cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused, dialectical-behavioral, compassion therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. This personalized care helps you feel understood and valued, fostering a trusting partnership between us. Together, you can explore, grow, and discover new strengths, with support tailored just for you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I will create a welcoming environment by explaining how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected, working hand-in-hand with you to develop a personalized plan, teaching you practical techniques, and offering genuine support. This approach will help empower you to face challenges confidently and flourish in your everyday life.
