I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based, psychodynamic, somatic, and trauma-informed techniques to support both insight and skill-building. Together, we’ll work toward greater emotional balance, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of clarity and direction.
