Modalities
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about giving you tools to handle life’s curveballs in new and healthier ways. In our first sessions, we’ll figure out together which approaches fit your goals.
Most of the treatments I use fall under the umbrella of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT is a research-backed, practical style of therapy that helps with everything from trauma and anxiety to depression, relationship issues, and personality challenges. The idea is simple: the way we think and behave shapes how we feel — so changing our thoughts and habits can make a real difference.
Most of the treatments below are approximately 4-6 months of weekly sessions. Think of these as ballpark estimates, not hard rules — everyone works at their own pace. What you can expect is to learn useful skills, practice them, and (often sooner than you’d think) notice real progress.
Yes, it’s work — but it’s also incredibly rewarding to see yourself mastering skills that once felt impossible.
