Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
Approach Description: My approach to counseling is collaborative, trauma-informed, and highly personalized. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel emotionally safe, deeply understood, and respected as the experts of their own lived experience. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor each session to the individual, honoring their unique history, strengths, and goals.
I specialize in working with individuals impacted by reproductive trauma, including infertility, pregnancy loss, complicated pregnancies, and birth-related experiences. These experiences can affect both emotional well-being and the nervous system, so my work integrates insight-oriented therapy with somatic and mind-body approaches to support healing at a deeper level.
I value clear communication, consistency, and ethical care, and I strive to create a space that feels grounding, compassionate, and supportive. Together, we work at a pace that feels manageable, helping clients process difficult experiences, regulate emotions, and reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. My goal is to support clients not only in understanding their experiences, but also in building resilience, self-trust, and a renewed sense of agency.
