The approaches I use are tailored to each client’s personalized needs. These include CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy. We work together to identify patterns of cognition, behavior, and coping strategies to understand your mental health better, thereby improving your well-being and self-awareness.
Invitation to Therapy:
When an issue causes significant stress and affects day-to-day functioning, it is imperative to begin therapy. I assure you of confidentiality and empathy to bring clarity about your own mental health and coping mechanisms. We will work on your concerns in a non-judgemental and safe environment.
