This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people uncover their own strengths and solutions, which is helpful for issues like grief, abandonment, and rebuilding confidence.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and to teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. CBT offers concrete tools that clients can apply between sessions to see measurable shifts in daily functioning.

Mindfulness therapy is integrated when helpful to teach present-moment awareness and stress reduction skills that support emotional regulation and coping. These practices can complement other approaches and provide steady strategies for navigating intense feelings.
