Client needs, preferences, and strengths form the basis of my work. Emphasizing collaboration, I draw from several therapeutic traditions, including:

·      CBT (cognitive-behavioral therapy), solution-focused,

·      family systems

·      psychodynamic therapy.

 

Trauma: I also use EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and other strategies for working through trauma.

 

By identifying strengths and hopes, we work together to define goals and a plan to reach them. We work on effective communication, building connections and problem-solving to lead the life clients desire.

 

I work with teens and adults who seek personal and social growth and change to improve and maintain mental health and wellness.

 

My work assists individuals and families to address concerns including shame, grief, loss, substance abuse, anger, life transitions, PTSD, trauma and dissociation, ADHD, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, depression, parenting, and unique challenges for immigrant, cross-cultural, multi-ethnic couples and families.
