Treatment Approach

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
  • Person-Centered
Approach Description: As a BIPOC clinician, I combine both person-centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches to provide comprehensive care. My person-centered approach ensures that you are at the heart of the therapeutic process, where your unique experiences, cultural background, and personal values are deeply respected. I believe in creating a warm, empathetic environment that empowers you to lead your own healing journey. At the same time, I incorporate CBT techniques to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Together, we’ll develop practical strategies to manage these challenges, fostering self-awareness and personal growth. This combination of approaches allows for a holistic, culturally sensitive space where you can thrive and achieve lasting change.
