Welcome
My perspective
My primary goal as a therapist is to create an open, empowering, and creative atmosphere wherein clients can gain comfort in self-expression.
I firmly believe therapy is most effective when there is a collaborative relationship based on trust, curiosity, and growth.
I make sure to view each client as a whole person, taking into account variables of diversity, such as family background, culture, ethnicity, age, and race, in order to achieve a holistic and comprehensive perspective.
Therapy Style
-
Psychological Theory.
As a result of my artistic background , I conceptualize the field of psychology as both an art and a science.
From an artistic perspective, I believe the therapist must be flexible and creative in constructing a comfortable environment and tailoring conceptualizations and interventions specifically to each client.
Drawing from science, psychology is grounded in research and I strive to provide clients with empirically-supported treatments.
-
Therapeutic Orientation.
I am an integrative therapist with a solid foundation in cognitive-behavioral therapies, (especially dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)), and interpersonal therapy.
I have extensive training in ACT and a strong affinity for mindfulness techniques as well as other anxiety-reducing strategies.
I make sure to view each client as a whole person, taking into account variables of diversity, such as family background, culture, ethnicity, age, and race, in order to achieve a holistic and comprehensive perspective.
