Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I tailor CBT interventions to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. I emphasize the connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviors, guiding clients to challenge cognitive distortions and build healthier thought patterns. I also integrate homework and real-life practice to promote long term change. I value collaboration, psychoeducation, and adapting CBT to fit individual developmental and cultural needs.

Humanistic

This approach allows me to support clients in exploring their inner experiences, values and personal meaning at their own pace. I emphasize active listening, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity to build a strong therapeutic alliance which is central to healing and growth. I use a client-centered lens to assist with developing a strong sense of identify and self-worth, particularly during times of transition or emotional distress.

Supportive

I utilize supportive therapy as a foundational approach to help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and navigate life’s challenges in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Through active listening, validation, encouragement, and collaborative problem-solving, I help clients gain insight into their experiences while reinforcing their existing strengths and resources.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I use Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify their strengths, build on existing successes, and develop practical strategies for achieving their goals. Rather than focusing solely on problems, I guide clients in exploring what is working, recognizing their resilience, and creating achievable steps toward meaningful change. This approach empowers clients to recognize their capabilities and make progress by focusing on solutions, strengths, and future possibilities.
