Therapy Approaches

A deeply compassionate, practical approach to help you live a fuller, more aligned life even when things don't feel ideal. It helps you build a different relationship with your thoughts and emotions. Instead of trying to "fix" every feeling or trying to force yourself into "thinking positive", ACT teaches you how to make room for your internal experiences while still moving toward the life you want.

Narrative therapy is a collaborative approach that helps you explore the stories you've been carrying about yourself. It explores where these stories come from, how they have shaped you, and if they still fit the person you're becoming. Often the stories we inherit from family, culture, trauma, past relationships, or medical experiences can become limiting. This therapy can help you reclaim your voice and re-author your story. 

Skills-building therapy focuses on giving you practical tools you can use in your everyday life. Not just insight, but actual strategies that help you feel more steady, organized, and empowered. This can help with executive functioning skills like emotion regulation, planning/organizing, time management, and socializing.

ERP is a highly effective therapy for OCD and anxiety that helps you face the thoughts, situations, or feelings you've been avoiding - without doing ritual or behaviors that temporarily reduce anxiety. Over time, your brain learns that the feared outcome doesn't happen, and the anxiety naturally decreases. 

Person-Centered Therapy is an approach grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. It offers you a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. My role is to offer empathy, genuine understanding, and unconditional positive regard so you feel safe to be honest, curious, and fully yourself. This helps you gain insight on your inner wisdom.

Strengths-Based therapy focuses on your abilities, values, and resilience - not just the challenges you're facing. It helps you identify the skills, insights, and strengths you already have, and builds on them to create meaningful change. It shifts the narrative from "What is wrong with me?" to "What strengths do I have to help move me forward?"
