Every person’s journey is different, so I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet your needs, including:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – helping you live in alignment with your values
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBCT) – cultivating awareness and presence in daily life
• Compassion-Focused & Person-Centered Therapy – creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for growth
• Trauma-Focused & Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) – gently addressing trauma and anxiety-related challenges
• Solution-Focused & Strength-Based Therapy – building on your unique strengths and resources
• Existential & Positive Psychology – exploring meaning, purpose, and fulfillment in life
The story behind my logo:
The blue morpho butterfly. When its wings are closed, it looks dusty and brown but when they open you see iridescent blue. I believe everyone has that iridescent blue inside but sometimes we just feel brown because of life’s challenges/stresses. I help connect people to the amazing color inside them.
