My Approach

 

I adopt a holistic approach to healing and growth. This means that I recognize th interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in the pursuit of well-being. In my practice, I integrate various therapeutic modalities and techniques, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, somatic experiencing, coping strategies, and exposure therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to address not only their emotional and mental wellness concerns but also their physical health, lifestyle factors, relationships, and spiritual beliefs. By considering the whole person and their unique experiences, strengths, and challenges, I strive to facilitate profound and lasting transformation.
