I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my practice. In our first session, we'll discuss what has brought you to therapy and work together to determine the best approach to support your progress. With CBT, we'll examine how your thoughts influence your emotions and experiences. Throughout treatment, I'll guide you in identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts.
