Therapy is a collaborative process of self-discovery, healing, change, and growth. I believe everyone could benefit from receiving support to gain insight into their behavior, emotions, and interpersonal dynamics, learn effective coping skills and discover their personal strengths. My approach to therapy would be described as collaborative and integrative. Based on my client’s needs, I use a variety of techniques including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavior, family systems, interpersonal, and play therapy. My personal style is warm, direct, empathic, accepting, supportive, and non-judgmental.
I work best with family and interpersonal relationships issues, problematic personality characteristics, parenting issues, attachment issues, women’s issues, emotional dysregulation, emotional stress due to life transitions, and clients who have Anxiety, Depression, trauma, Adjustment Disorder, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder. My clients describe me as calm, compassionate, flexible and warm. I enjoy my job because I have the opportunity to establish strong and trusting relationships with my clients and I get to learn and understand each individual’s unique life story. I find it very rewarding to see my clients overcome their social, emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges, heal, change and achieve a life worth-living.
When not working I like to spend time with my family and friends, watch movies, travel, and photograph nature and culture (some of which can be seen in my office).
