CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and many everyday challenges where changing thoughts and behaviors can reduce distress.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships affect current patterns in intimacy and trust. This approach can be especially helpful for those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, or recurring relationship difficulties.
She also integrates client-centered principles that prioritize the client's experience and strengths, creating a collaborative environment where goals and techniques are shaped together.
