Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience using CBT to help clients identify and reframe negative thought patterns and behaviors. In my practice, I guide clients in developing practical coping strategies to manage challenges, improve emotional regulation, and achieve their goals.
Trauma Informed Care
I approach therapy from a trauma-informed lens, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered and understood. By recognizing the impact of trauma on a person’s well-being, I help clients build resilience, regulate emotions, and work toward healing at their own pace
Positive Psychology
I integrate positive psychology by focusing on clients' strengths, cultivating gratitude, and fostering resilience. This approach helps clients build a greater sense of well-being and satisfaction in life while promoting personal growth and empowerment
Integrative
I use an integrative approach to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, drawing from various modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, functional medicine and positive psychology. This holistic perspective allows me to address the mind, body, and spirit, fostering comprehensive healing and personal growth
Interpersonal
My experience with IPT involves helping clients improve their relationships by addressing communication patterns, role transitions, and unresolved conflicts. I use this approach to support clients in building healthier connections and enhancing their emotional well-being
