Explore Treatment Approaches

Personalized Care for Your Mental Health Journey
No two people are the same. That’s why therapy is most effective when it is tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. As an eclectic psychologist, I draw from a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches. Some are more structured, others are more reflective, and many integrate mindfulness, growth, or relational focus. Together, we will explore which approaches fit best for you. 
Moving Forward Together
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Each person’s journey is unique, and some methods may stand on their own while others can be blended for a more personalized experience. Together, we will explore the approaches that best fit your personality, preferences, and goals. My role is to help you discover the path that supports your healing, growth, and overall well-being, while creating a safe and supportive space for lasting change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT is a structured, practical approach that helps individuals recognize and modify unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It focuses on building new coping strategies and problem-solving skills to support positive change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT emphasizes acceptance of thoughts and feelings while encouraging action based on personal values. It helps people live more fully in the present and create lives that feel meaningful and authentic.

Humanistic/Client-Centered Therapy

Grounded in empathy and authenticity, this approach fosters a safe, nonjudgmental environment. It emphasizes personal growth and self-acceptance, encouraging individuals to reach their fullest potential.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

SFBT emphasizes solutions rather than problems. It helps clients identify strengths and resources, build on what is already working, and take practical steps toward creating their desired future.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy

MBCT blends mindfulness meditation with cognitive strategies. By cultivating awareness of thoughts and emotions, individuals can respond with balance and clarity rather than reacting automatically.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy encourages people to re-examine the stories they tell about themselves. By separating problems from identity, individuals can create new, empowering narratives that highlight their strengths and values.

Motivational Interviewing

MI is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps individuals strengthen their own motivation for change. It supports self-reflection, clarifies personal values, and encourages confident steps toward meaningful goals.

Psychodynamic Therapy

This approach explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present thoughts, feelings, and relationships. By increasing self-awareness, psychodynamic therapy helps resolve inner conflicts and supports long-term growth.

Interpersonal Therapy

IPT focuses on improving communication and relationships. By addressing patterns in interactions, it helps strengthen connections, resolve conflicts, and build healthier support systems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT combines cognitive-behavioral strategies with mindfulness. It teaches skills in four areas: Mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT supports balance and stability when emotions or relationships feel difficult to manage.

Healing Starts Here

Even now, as broken as you may feel,
you are still so strong.
There’s something to be said for
how you hold yourself together and keep moving,
even though you feel like shattering.
Don’t stop.    This is your healing.    It doesn’t
have to be pretty or graceful.    You just
have to keep going.
-Maxwell Dawuoh
