My Approach to Helping

More Info About My Practice

At Psych Therapy, we don’t believe in just "talking it out"—we focus on helping clients achieve measurable and lasting emotional change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship distress, trauma, or simply feeling stuck, I work collaboratively with you to identify root issues, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build empowering solutions.

My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy offers a structured and supportive environment where you can explore your emotions, behaviors, and patterns. It can help you gain clarity, regulate distress, build coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, or low mood, therapy creates a safe space for healing and self-growth.

What I Love about Being a Psychotherapist

What I love most is witnessing people find hope and strength they never thought they had. The trust my clients place in me and their courage to show up authentically inspires me. Each session is a reminder of human resilience, and I feel deeply grateful to be part of that transformation.

My Role as a Therapist

I see my role as a collaborator and guide. I don?t give advice?I help you uncover your own truths and empower you to take action. Using tools like TEAM-CBT and other evidence-based approaches, I support you in identifying thought distortions, emotional roadblocks, and help you build new, adaptive patterns.

My Therapy Focus

My focus is on emotional and relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and self-esteem. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples using structured frameworks like TEAM-CBT, IFS-informed work, and mindfulness to support meaningful change.

What I Usually Need to Know to Help

I begin by understanding your emotional landscape?what brings you in, your current challenges, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I also look at your patterns of thinking, past coping mechanisms, and relational history so we can co-create a focused, personalized treatment path.

My Guiding Ethical Principles

Confidentiality, compassion, respect, and cultural sensitivity are the pillars of my practice. I believe in transparency, collaboration, and always working in your best interest while respecting your pace and choices.

On the Fence About Going to Therapy?

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Look for someone whose approach aligns with your needs and who makes you feel emotionally safe. Competency, empathy, structure, and flexibility all matter. Ask questions?therapy is collaborative, and you should feel comfortable being open and vulnerable.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I?ve learned that being human comes before being a therapist. My own experiences with anxiety, self-doubt, and growth give me empathy and deeper insight into the challenges my clients face. These experiences ground me in humility and connection, not authority.

What I Say to People Concerned about the Therapy Process

It?s okay to feel unsure. Therapy isn?t about being ?fixed??it?s about being understood. I go at your pace, ensuring you?re never pushed beyond what feels safe. We?ll co-create a space that works for you, one session at a time.

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed

Seeking help takes immense strength. It?s a brave decision to face your inner world and want better for yourself. Therapy is not a sign of weakness?it?s a commitment to self-care, growth, and healing. I honor everyone who walks into the therapy space.

Importance of the Client-Therapist Alliance

The therapeutic relationship is foundational to progress. Trust, safety, and connection are key. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental space where you're free to explore your inner world, knowing I?m here to support?not fix?you.

My View on the Nature of 'Disorders'

I view ?disorders? not as labels to define people, but as ways to understand certain patterns and needs. Mental health isn?t black and white?it?s a continuum. My goal is to help you understand yourself, not to reduce you to a diagnosis.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

This depends on your goals, challenges, and pace. Some clients benefit from short-term focused work, while others explore deeper patterns over time. Typically, we begin with weekly sessions and then reassess. You?re always in control of how long we work together.

What Makes up a Problem?

A problem is often something that disrupts your emotional balance, relationships, or self-worth. It could be recurring negative thoughts, overwhelming emotions, or behaviors you want to change. Whatever feels ?stuck? or painful?therapy helps you move through it with insight and tools.
