I employ an eclectic, client-centered approach that integrates diagnostic assessment, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and therapeutic coaching to address issues like depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction. My methodology emphasizes gradual, sustainable change through a supportive therapeutic relationship that respects individual learning curves and personal histories.With a focus on professionals facing high-stress environments, I provide tailored strategies to enhance emotional regulation, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and foster resilience against burnout.
