Every person is different and each problem requires a different solution. Consequently, my approach is integrative, drawing from a number of well established and evidence-based therapeutic approaches, most notably Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Person-Centered Approaches, Systemic Therapy as well as Psychodynamic approaches.
CBT helps identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It is structured, goal-oriented, and practical.
ACT teaches skills like mindfulness and acceptance to handle challenges while focusing on what truly matters to an individual.
Person-Centered Approach offers a warm, accepting, non-judgmental relationship in which people are supported to understand themselves more deeply, move toward growth and change at their own pace.
Systemic Therapy focuses on understanding personal difficulties and how to facilitate change within the context of relationships and social systems (e.g. family).
Psychodynamic Therapy helps people understand how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence their current thoughts, feelings, and relationships, supporting deeper insights and lasting change.
Depending on your needs, therapy may involve structured interventions, reflective exploration, or a combination of both. We will regularly review goals and progress together.
As a therapist, it is important to me to create a safe and trusting space where you can feel accepted with your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I work transparently and collaboratively, adapting the structure and pace of therapy to your individual needs. Therapy may involve gaining a deeper understanding of your experiences and inner processes, as well as developing new ways of responding to thoughts, emotions, and challenges in everyday life. I see the therapeutic relationship as an important part of this process fostering understanding, change, and personal growth.
