Treatment Interventions
In my work with children, teens, and young adults dealing with anxiety, mood disorders, and complex family dynamics, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals feel valued and understood. I use a person-centered approach to foster a trusting therapeutic relationship, enabling clients to explore their emotions and confront challenges. I integrate evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to promote emotional regulation, and distress tolerance, while also incorporating mindfulness practices to enhance emotional awareness. Additionally, I utilize art and play therapy as alternative forms of self-expression, allowing clients to process their emotions in a creative and accessible manner. Ultimately, I am committed to supporting my clients on their journeys toward personal growth and authentic self-discovery, equipping them with the tools and confidence to navigate their challenges and embrace their identities with resilience.
