Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) originally emerged as a cognitive-behavioral treatment that aimed to support chronically suicidal individuals diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, but has been proven to be effective for a wide range of mental health disorders.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) stands as a highly effective psychological treatment intervention for a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety disorders, substance use, marital dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and even severe mental illnesses.
Mindfulness
Jon Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as the conscious awareness that emerges when we purposefully focus our attention on the present moment, without judgment. It’s like walking through a room with the lights on and our eyes open, enabling us to navigate life with clarity and presence.
Self-Compassion
Dr. Kristin Neff, a trailblazer in the field of self-compassion research, beautifully defines self-compassion as the art of extending the same kindness and understanding to ourselves that we instinctively offer to others when they face suffering, failure, or feelings of inadequacy.
Feminist and Anti-Oppressive Therapy
My therapeutic approach is rooted in feminist and anti-oppressive principles, acknowledging that mental health challenges are shaped by systemic forces like racism, sexism, ableism, classism, and more. These influences can create unique stressors, traumas, and barriers to personal growth. Healing is possible in a space that values and affirms your experiences.
