Modalities
As a mental health therapist, I integrate an attachment-based approach into my practice,
enriching therapeutic interactions with insights into the significance of early relationships and
their impact on current emotional well-being. Complementing this framework, I employ a
solution-focused approach infused with cognitive behavioral strategies and interventions.
This integrative approach tailors therapy to the unique needs and goals of each client. By
drawing from attachment theory, I recognize the importance of creating a secure therapeutic
alliance and fostering trust and openness. Through solution-focused techniques, I help to
empower clients to identify their strengths, set achievable goals, and cultivate resilience in the
face of challenges. Utilizing cognitive behavioral strategies, I collaborate with clients to explore
the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, guiding them in developing
practical skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and challenge unhelpful patterns. With a
focus on promoting positive change and building coping strategies, I equip clients with tools to
navigate life's complexities and cultivate greater well-being.
Theory and Philosophy
Grounded in a deep understanding of psychology, coupled with extensive training in mental
health counseling and elementary education, I approach therapy with empathy, warmth,
expertise, and a steadfast dedication to supporting clients on their journey toward healing and
growth.
I look forward to working in partnership with you.
