My approach to mental wellness

About my Logo: The willow tree was chosen for my logo because it symbolizes the flow of emotions and embodies resilience, healing, flexibility, and adaptability. This powerful imagery emphasizes that there is potential for growth even in the face of profound challenges. The leaves of the willow tree are believed to represent the balance, harmony, and growth we experience in our lives. These symbolizations align with my belief in the human spirit and its remarkable capacity for growth and change.

Our work together is built on a foundation of collaboration. I believe in partnering with you to explore and address your unique challenges, leveraging your strengths to facilitate growth and change.  My approach is rooted in a strength-based model that focuses on your inherent abilities and resources. Rather than concentrating on deficits, we work to enhance your existing strengths and build new skills.

I adopt a whole-person approach to mental wellness. This means considering all aspects of your life—emotional, cognitive, physical, and social—to promote balanced and holistic well-being.  I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you understand and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Through curious questioning and exploration, we aim to achieve new outcomes and mitigate the impact of symptoms on your daily life.

I prioritize dignity and respect in all interactions. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring sensitive issues.  Your privacy and confidentiality are paramount. I adhere to the highest ethical standards to ensure a professional and secure therapeutic environment.
