Your Journey to Better Mental Health Begins Here
About My Practice
Welcome to my practice! I’m committed to transforming mental healthcare by offering evidence-based psychotherapy tailored specifically for adults (18+). As a therapist, my focus is on providing high-quality, personalized care that addresses your unique needs and supports your journey toward meaningful and lasting positive change.
A Personalized Approach
I believe in tailoring therapy to fit your unique needs and goals. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, I use evidence-based methods like CBT, ERP, ACT, and mindfulness to create a customized plan that addresses your specific challenges and supports your personal growth. My goal is to work closely with you to ensure a meaningful and transformative experience.
A Range of Effective Therapies
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Challenge negative thoughts to foster healthier thinking.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): Gradual exposure to fears while reducing compulsive behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Accept thoughts and feelings while acting in line with your values.
Mindfulness: Focus on the present moment and reduce stress through acceptance.
