My Approach to Therapy

In my practice, my utmost priority is to cultivate a peaceful and receptive environment where open communication can thrive. I understand that therapy is not just about managing symptoms; it's about fostering growth and development in all areas of a person's well-being. My clinical experience includes work with adolescents and adults who have a psychosocial history involving a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, schizophrenia, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life transitions. In sessions, my primary therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.

However, my philosophy centers on the uniqueness of each client, acknowledging that no single approach will be universally effective. I adapt my techniques to suit each individual's specific needs, integrating elements from various therapeutic models to address your unique concerns. This flexibility allows me to offer you a customized therapeutic experience that aims to equip you with the coping skills and emotional resilience needed to navigate life's challenges.

I believe the real power of therapy lies in its potential to extend beyond our sessions. My goal is for you to take the peaceful and receptive environment we cultivate in therapy and integrate it into your personal and daily life. This way, the growth and development achieved in our sessions can become a catalyst for your ongoing well-being, enriching every facet of your existence. Let's work together to create a more fulfilling, balanced, and empowered life for you.
