About her approach
Grief & Trauma Therapy
Grief and Trauma Therapy provides a safe, structured space to process the deep emotional impact of loss or traumatic experiences. Through guided support, clients are encouraged to explore unresolved emotions, acknowledge their pain, and gradually develop coping strategies that help them navigate grief and trauma while rebuilding resilience and a sense of self.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Clients learn to recognize negative thought patterns, question their accuracy, and develop more balanced perspectives. This practical approach equips clients to manage anxiety, stress, or self-doubt and to make positive changes in how they think and respond to challenges.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT encourages clients to accept difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment while taking meaningful action aligned with personal values. Through mindfulness practices and value-based guidance, clients learn to stay present, navigate emotional discomfort, and make choices that support a life consistent with what truly matters to them.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
CFT helps clients cultivate self-compassion and reduce self-criticism. By learning to respond to themselves with the same kindness they would offer a friend, clients develop emotional resilience, self-acceptance, and the ability to handle setbacks with gentleness rather than harsh judgment.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
EFT combines gentle tapping with focused attention on emotional experiences, allowing clients to release stress and emotional tension. It supports clients in processing challenging emotions, reducing anxiety, and responding to difficult situations with greater calm and clarity.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and understanding patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior. Clients explore their reactions and interactions in real time, gaining insight into recurring patterns and learning to make conscious choices that foster authentic living and more fulfilling relationships.
Inner Child Work using Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Inner Child Work using IFS guides clients to connect with and heal vulnerable parts of themselves shaped by early experiences. By nurturing these inner parts and understanding how they influence current emotions and behaviors, clients develop healthier coping strategies, emotional insight, and a stronger sense of self.
