Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Compassion Focused
Grief Counseling
Interpersonal
Mindfulness-Based (MBCT)
Motivational Interviewing
Person-Centered
Psychoanalytic
Supportive Therapy

Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are central to my practice. MI uses empathy, acceptance, and open ended questions to strengthen motivation for change. CBT helps identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs, replacing them with balanced thoughts that support healthier emotions and behaviors.
