I firmly believe that individuals are shaped by both their innate traits and their life experiences. In my approach, I focus on addressing these factors to create an environment conducive to lasting healing. I facilitate the therapeutic process by acknowledging clients’ challenges and helping them find the motivation to make positive changes in their daily lives. I emphasize the importance of recognizing the capacity for change that is essential for progress toward well-being. While my foundational approach lies in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I primarily use an eclectic model, recognizing that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. I also incorporate techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Solution Focused Therapy. My area of expertise lies in trauma-focused work, particularly in addressing childhood and sexual trauma, grief and loss, depression, sexual issues, ADHD, and couples therapy.
