Therapy Approach
I use a client-centered and integrative approach, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, and Mindfulness Practices to support holistic healing.
My goal is to help clients rebuild confidence, emotional stability, and a sense of peace in their daily lives.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Helps clients identify and reframe negative thinking patterns.

• Trauma-Informed Therapy – Provides safe healing for those recovering from emotional or physical trauma.

• Mindfulness-Based Therapy – Encourages presence, calm, and self-awareness through guided mindfulness techniques.

• Person-Centered Therapy – Focuses on empathy, unconditional support, and client-led growth.

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – Practical, goal-oriented therapy to help clients make progress quickly.

• Psychodynamic Therapy – Explores the influence of past experiences on present behavior and emotions.
