As your therapist, I tailor my approach depending on your needs. It is my commitment to offer you a safe space without judgement and provide an empathetic ear. Each person is unique which means that the approach should be unique to you. My goal is to help you understand behavior patterns which will lead to a better understanding of one's self. I will provide you with concrete coping strategies
CBT & DBT can be effective when dealing with stress,emotions, depression and anxiety. The key to DBT is acceptance of your thoughts and emotions without judgement. Focusing on the present without fixating on the past or worrying about the future. CBT focuses on changing irrational thought patterns and behaviors.
As COVID 19 has changed our everyday lives significantly, I offer teletherapy sessions as well as extra support as you push forward with adapting to the "new normal". Helping you with the process of coping with traumas that may play a role of significance in your life causing anxiety and uncertainty
