I approach therapy using both Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT) and a Solution-Focused approach. This means our work is centered on your goals and building upon your strengths. We’ll work on skills to improve emotional well-being, managing distress, and focus on moving forward so you can achieve the meaningful life you desire.

In our first few sessions, we will focus on mutually getting acquainted and establishing clear therapeutic expectations. This foundational work ensures we create a consistent, safe, and deeply supportive environment where trust and open communication can flourish right from the start.
