INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

I Provide one on one Indiviual Therapy

My individual therapy sessions are designed to provide a personalized and transformative experience. Sessions typically last 45-60 minutes, offering a dedicated space for self-exploration, healing, and empowerment.

In therapy, we work together to:

Break through self-limiting beliefs that impact confidence, motivation, and decision-making.
Develop emotional resilience to navigate stress, anxiety, and life transitions with confidence.
Strengthen boundaries and communication in personal, professional, and social relationships.
Enhance self-awareness and clarity to align your actions with your goals and values.
Prioritize self-care and work-life balance without guilt or burnout.

I offer strategic, results-driven therapy that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a deeper connection to yourself, I provide the tools, insight, and support needed to help you not just manage life—but thrive in it.
Invest in your well-being, reclaim your confidence, and step into the life you deserve. Let’s begin your journey today!

Treatment methods used

CBT

I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and restructure negative thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and achieve their treatment goals. My approach involves psychoeducation, identifying cognitive distortions, and using behavioural interventions such as exposure therapy, behavioral activation, and activity scheduling. I emphasize skill-building, like mindfulness and problem-solving, and assign individualized homework to reinforce progress. I’ve successfully applied CBT to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress, valuing its structured, evidence-based framework and its ability to empower clients in their healing journey.

Humanistic Therapy

I integrate Humanistic Therapy into my practice to foster a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, values, and sense of self. I focus on building a strong therapeutic alliance through active listening, unconditional positive regard, and empathy. Using a client-centered approach, I help individuals tap into their inner strengths and identify solutions that align with their personal values. This method has been effective in addressing issues such as self-esteem, personal growth, relationship challenges, and emotional distress, enabling clients to develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and fulfillment.

Mindfulness Based Therapy

I incorporate Mindfulness-Based Therapy into my practice to help clients develop present-moment awareness and cultivate a nonjudgmental, compassionate relationship with their thoughts and emotions. By teaching mindfulness techniques such as breathing exercises, body scans, and mindful awareness, I guide clients in managing stress, reducing anxiety, and enhancing emotional regulation. This approach fosters self-acceptance and resilience, enabling clients to break free from reactive patterns and increase their ability to stay grounded in the present.

Psychodynamic

I utilize Psychodynamic Therapy to help clients gain insight into how unconscious thoughts, past experiences, and early relationships shape their current behaviors and emotional patterns. Through techniques like free association, exploring defense mechanisms, and examining transference, I work with clients to uncover unresolved conflicts and promote self-awareness.

DBT

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. By integrating these core components, I guide clients in managing intense emotions, reducing impulsive behaviors, and improving relationships.

Using CBT, DBT, humanistic, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based therapy, I help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. A typical plan includes identifying thought and behavior patterns, restructuring limiting beliefs, improving emotional regulation, strengthening decision making skills, and developing actionable strategies for long-term change.

My approach includes restructuring negative thought patterns (CBT), improving emotional regulation and distress tolerance (DBT), uncovering unconscious influences (psychodynamic), fostering self-growth (humanistic), and cultivating present-moment awareness (mindfulness) for lasting change.

-Former Client

I am eternally grateful for the lessons I have learned throughout my time in therapy with Ms. Elizabeth. This took years for me because I believe it took time to structure my mind in a way it can comprehend all my problems.I was able to recover from my depression(which from my personal opinion was pretty severe) and now I'm able to live a happy life. I'm not gonna say that it will be easy because that is a lie. It is a extremely difficult process, but that does not mean you have to go through it alone.
