I take integrative, evidence-based collaborative approach to therapy that blends CBT/DBT, structural and solution-focused therapy. My work is grounded in systemic understanding of how family, culture, identity, spirituality and experience shape each person's story.
In my sessions, I support warm, calm and safe environment, where my practical tools and clinical insights are combined to help clients understand patterns, strengthen resilience and create new empowering narratives. My approach is informed by family systems theory, developmental psychology and knowledge of our nervous system's role in healing.
Regardless of the modality used, I tailor each session to your needs every time we meet. I work best with couples and families seeking a therapist who blends structure with warmth, evidence-based practice with creativity in order to build better communication and meaning making skills, as well as coping skills for better emotional control.
