Treatment Approach
- 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.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: As a psychotherapist, my approach is rooted in warmth, empathy, and a deep commitment to creating a non-judgmental space where clients feel safe and understood. I believe that every person has unique strengths and inner resilience, and my goal is to help clients recognize and build upon these qualities to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
I tailor therapy to meet the individual needs of each client, recognizing that no single approach works for everyone. By integrating various therapeutic techniques, I ensure that the strategies we use are effective and meaningful for you. Whether it’s exploring thoughts and emotions, developing coping mechanisms, or working toward personal growth, I adapt my methods to align with what benefits you the most.
At the core of my practice is the belief that even small steps toward healing and self-discovery are worth celebrating. I support my clients with encouragement and compassion, helping them gain new perspectives and find strength in their journey. Together, we will work to create positive change in a way that feels right for you.
