Holistic
Psychotherapy
an integrative approach
I employ an integrated approach encompassing the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing that healing occurs on emotional and unconscious levels. Clients can access endless outcomes and possibilities for their healing journey by incorporating multiple modalities and theoretical approaches in counseling.
​
In each session, I prioritize the client's role as the leader of the discussion, while I serve as a facilitator. Acceptance, respect, understanding, empathy, and authenticity characterize my approach. By fostering a therapeutic environment that encourages self-discovery, I support clients in their pursuit of personal growth and overall well-being.
My Approaches
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
CBT focuses on understanding the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT is particularly effective for anxiety, depression, and various other mood disorders.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):
DBT combines cognitive and behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. It is often used to treat individuals with emotional dysregulation, borderline personality disorder, and self-destructive behaviors. DBT helps clients build coping skills and learn how to accept and regulate their emotions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
ACT encourages clients to accept their thoughts and feelings instead of trying to suppress or control them. It emphasizes living in alignment with personal values and committing to positive behavioral changes. ACT is useful for managing stress, anxiety, and building resilience.
Motivational Interviewing for Behavioral Change
Motivational interviewing is an empowering and collaborative approach that I utilize in counseling and behavior change. Together, we create a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your values, goals, and any ambivalence towards change. Through active listening, open-ended questioning, and empathetic reflections, I am dedicated to understanding your unique experiences and perspectives.
My primary focus is on evoking and strengthening your intrinsic motivation, as I firmly believe that you possess the inner resources necessary for transformative change. By guiding you in developing sustainable strategies tailored to your needs, we work hand in hand to facilitate meaningful and lasting improvements in your life. Through my expertise in motivational interviewing, I strive to empower you to take charge of your journey and create positive shifts in your behavior. Together, we can unlock your potential for growth and create a fulfilling and purposeful life.
