Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Patients will experience a collaborative, goal-oriented approach where we'll work to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, ultimately helping them develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Motivational Interviewing

Patients will experience a collaborative, patient-centered approach where I help them explore their own reasons for change and strengthen their internal motivation.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Patients will experience a strengths-based, future-oriented approach where we focus on building solutions rather than dwelling on problems.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Patients will learn techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness, observe thoughts and feelings without judgment, and develop a kinder, more accepting relationship with themselves.

Biofeedback

Patients will experience a process where I help them gain greater awareness of their internal physiological states, empowering them to cultivate self-regulation and mind-body harmony.
