I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into my work. In our first session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy and outline a plan that fits your needs. CBT helps us understand how thoughts shape emotions and actions, and I'll guide you in challenging unhelpful patterns to create positive change.
