My Approach to Therapy
With over 14 years of experience, I am deeply committed to helping individuals understand and navigate the complexities of anxiety and its pervasive effects on their daily lives. My therapeutic approach is highly personalized, ensuring that each session is tailored to meet your unique needs and objectives. Utilizing innovative strategies such as polyvagal and schema therapies, and as a certified Integrative Mental Health Care Provider, I integrate treatments that address both the psychological and physical symptoms associated with stress.
During our sessions, we will delve into the origins of your anxiety, implementing practical strategies to manage immediate challenges while also focusing on long-term personal growth and self-awareness. My aim is to facilitate a journey of discovery, helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, cultivate self-acceptance, and develop essential skills such as boundary setting, mindfulness, and consistent self-care. This process is designed to empower you to live more comfortably and confidently in your own skin.
Life's journey is often marked by unexpected challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and isolated, yet these moments also provide powerful opportunities for personal development and resilience. I am dedicated to supporting you through these periods, assisting you in recognizing and leveraging your strengths, learning effective coping strategies, and making choices that empower and enhance your well-being. Together, we will start from your current situation and progress at a pace that respects your comfort and safety, ensuring a therapeutic experience that is both genuine and transformative.
