  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

    I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based approach, to guide you on your journey towards emotional well-being and personal growth. Through ACT, I empower individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment, fostering a sense of acceptance. Together, we'll identify your core values and set meaningful goals, crafting a path towards a richer, more fulfilling life. By learning mindfulness techniques and committing to positive actions aligned with your values, you can overcome challenges and cultivate a stronger, more resilient mindset.

With DBT, I offer a compassionate and effective approach to managing emotions, building interpersonal skills, and developing mindfulness techniques.

DBT equips you with practical tools to cope with distress and communicate effectively, leading to a life of balance and fulfillment. I'm committed to guiding you through this transformative journey, helping you build resilience and achieve lasting well-being.
