Many people develop the core message "I'm not good enough." Then we develop relationships with friends and intimate partners that reinforce that core message. We engage in negative self-talk.The great thing is, we can reprogram our message.

In treating clients with depression, I take an integrative approach, blending positive psychology, narrative therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Through ACT, I guide clients in accepting difficult emotions while committing to actions that support a meaningful, value-driven life. Together, these approaches foster resilience, self-compassion, and pers
