My Approach to Coaching
My practice is based upon a philosophy built on a foundation of empathy, respect, and a deep-seated belief in evidence-based practices. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. My sessions are tailored to your unique needs, creating a collaborative journey toward lasting, positive change. My work is informed by various modalities, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. It is highly effective for treating anxiety, depression, and many other mental health challenges.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
REBT helps clients identify irrational beliefs and replace them with more rational, helpful perspectives. This approach is particularly effective for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. It is especially effective for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and developing coping strategies.
A Global Perspective
My practice embraces a global perspective, drawing from diverse cultural backgrounds and therapeutic traditions. Having worked with clients from various parts of the world, I understand the unique challenges that come with cross-cultural experiences, migration, and adapting to new environments.
I strive to provide culturally sensitive support that respects and honors each individual's background, values, and beliefs. This inclusive approach ensures that my mental health coaching is tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.
Whether you're an expat, immigrant, or simply someone seeking a confidant who understands diverse perspectives, I am here to support you on your journey to mental wellness.
