My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care. I also integrate techniques from crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, and supportive psychotherapy to create treatment plans that address each client’s unique needs. I strive to provide a safe, empathetic, and culturally sensitive space where you feel empowered to explore challenges, build resilience, and develop practical coping skills.
