Areas of Focus

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 

Helping you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that influence your emotions and behaviors. By replacing unhelpful thoughts with more balanced ones, we work together to improve your emotional well-being.

Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) 

SFT aims to identify your strengths and find practical solutions to your current challenges. We focus on what's already working in your life to help create positive change and achieve progress in key areas.

Attachment Focused Therapy  (AFT)

Explores how early relationships shape your emotional patterns. By understanding these patterns, we work to build healthier connections, improve trust, and foster emotional growth for stronger, more secure relationships.
