My Approach to Therapy
I focus on treatments and methods that are backed by peer-reviewed research while maintaining genuine connection and acceptance.
My Core Philosophy
I am both a Mental Health Professional trusted to utilize the best treatments AND a Human seeking connection, learning, and making mistakes.
Theoretical Foundations
Person-Centered Therapy:
You are the expert on your own life. I provide a warm, completely judgment-free space for you to explore your feelings, find your own voice, and learn to trust your inner compass again.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are deeply connected. We will work together to identify unhelpful or negative thought patterns that keep you stuck, replacing them with practical tools to manage stress and react differently to daily challenges.
Existential Therapy:
Sometimes our deepest struggles are about finding meaning and purpose. We will explore the "big picture" of your life—what truly matters to you, how to navigate uncertainty, and how to build a life that feels authentic to who you are.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
Instead of exhausting yourself by fighting difficult emotions, we will practice making peace with them. From there, we will focus your energy on taking meaningful steps forward that align with your core values, even when life feels hard.
