A bit about my approach to therapy

Ms. D takes a holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, recognizing that mental health is deeply interconnected with personal experiences, relationships, and overall well-being. With a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness-Based Interventions to support clients in understanding and reshaping their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Ms. D believes that healing occurs in a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and valued.
