My approach is integrative and client-centered, blending evidence-based techniques with deep compassion. I offer a focused style specializing in Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma/PTSD, utilizing cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) principles to provide effective Coping Skills and build resilience. My work also addresses the profound impacts of Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse, where the focus is on restoring a sense of safety and Self-Esteem. Furthermore, I guide clients in improving their Peer Relationships and resolving challenging Relationship Issues, ultimately empowering them to manage stress and cultivate a more fulfilling, purposeful life.
