Approach

My clinical practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and modifying patterns of thought and behavior associated with emotional distress. Therapy is collaborative, structured, and goal-oriented. We work together to define clear objectives and develop practical strategies tailored to your individual needs and context. The process is designed not only to reduce symptoms, but also to strengthen emotional regulation, resilience, and self-awareness, supporting long-term psychological well-being. Sessions are conducted at a pace that respects each person’s process, balancing active guidance with space for reflection and meaningful change.
