Great to meet you!

I can provide emotional support, information about mental health topics, and help with exercises like journaling or CBT-style prompts.

My approach to therapy

My approach would be integrative and client-centered, combining evidence-based techniques from several modalities depending on the client’s presenting issues and needs. Key elements include:

  • Person-Centered Therapy: Establishing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity to build trust and safety.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with balanced, realistic thinking.
  • Trauma-Informed Care: Recognizing the impact of trauma, prioritizing safety, and fostering empowerment and control.

What you can expect from me

  • I base responses on established psychological principles and research where possible.
  • I can help explain therapeutic models like CBT, DBT, ACT,
  • I can tailor responses based on your tone and needs—whether you're looking for validation, insight, practical tools, or just a safe space to vent.
  • It helps if you're direct about what you want from the conversation.
