We all experience hardships, some of them deeply impactful or traumatic; however, it is through the process of healing that we are able to enhance our resilience, cultivate effective coping strategies, and feel more at peace.

What isn’t healed tends to manifest in detrimental ways through our choices, distressing states of mind, and relationships, reminding us that it should be addressed. For this reason, committing yourself to healing and seeking guidance are the first steps towards, not merely managing, but thriving.

I provide psychotherapy to individuals seeking to better understand their symptoms in order to determine accurately what approach will be best suited to create positive changes.

It focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is based on the idea that gaining insight into the unconscious and resolving unconscious conflicts can lead to positive change and personal growth. It involves exploring past experiences and emotions to gain a deeper understanding of unconscious motivations that may be impacting their current behaviors. It can be a powerful tool for personal growth and self-discovery.

CBT is a type of psychotherapy that aims to change negative patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. It is based on the premise that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and that negative patterns can be altered through a process of changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

This type of therapy is based on existential philosophy, which emphasizes the individual’s personal responsibility and freedom to create their own meaning and purpose in life. It explores people’s experiences, beliefs, and values to help them self-reflect on their reality and find meaning in their life. It addresses existential questions, such as the purpose of life, death, freedom, and responsibility.

SFT focuses on finding solutions to problems and encourages people to identify their strengths and resources to develop self-confidence in their ability to solve problems. It is focused on the present and future, rather than the past and tends to require fewer sessions.

Nutritional psychiatry recognizes that nutrition is an important factor in mental health and can be used as a therapeutic tool by incorporating healthy dietary habits into a mental health treatment plan.

Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that focuses on holistic health and wellness by balancing the mind, body, and spirit. It views mental health as a direct reflection of the balance of physical, emotional, and spiritual factors. To address mental health, Ayurveda utilizes a variety of approaches such as diet and lifestyle modifications, herbal remedies, and yoga. By creating a personalized plan that addresses each person’s unique needs and imbalances, Ayurveda can help to alleviate mental health concerns and promote overall well-being.
