Sometimes we all encounter situations that leaves us broken and helpless to where life begins to lose meaning. Radical acceptance and mindfulness through DBT allows you to accept situations as is knowing you have no control over them. This allows individuals to learn the process of letting go of past hurts and learning to live in the moment with a focus on what is going well in their lives at this point.

I utilize Person Centered model as one of my approaches in treatment with the belief that each individual is different and are expert of themselves and their situation. You as a client have the answers you seek within you, and as such will be provided the space to explore your own feelings without judgement.

CBT teaches us about the connection between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors that follows an activating event. My goal is to bring awareness to how you as the client are able to identify, challenge and replace those irrational thoughts with more rational ones to provide you the freedom of being yourself, and validating your own feelings.
