These approaches help clients develop skills to manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, reduce dysfunctional behaviors, and enhance self-awareness. We work together to address core beliefs, thought patterns, and behaviors that contribute to distress and dysfunction. I focus on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your experiences and work towards lasting change.
