Therapeutic Approach When working with clients I aim to create a welcoming, safe, and non-judgmental environment. In my therapy practices, I utilize an integrative approach that is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Object Relations therapy designed to meet each client’s specific needs. I may implement various techniques using mindfulness exercises cognitive restructuring and reality testing. I believe incorporating these techniques helps my clients to understand themselves better, process difficult emotions, identify aspects of their lives they would like to change, and improve emotional regulation.
