My Approach to Therapy
I see therapy as a unique space where a valuable and supportive relationship can be established in cultivating a path towards healthier choices and meaningful growth. I specialize in working with couples and have experienced moving people from emotional distress and isolation towards fulfillment in relationship. In working with individuals, we will explore and expand into meaningful ways the relationship you have with yourself. I aim to connect with you, authentically, and hold a therapeutic space that is safe, healing, and constructive. I create a safe, compassionate environment in which healing can happen in moments and over time. I enjoy working with people of all races and gender expressions.
My approach is client-centered, culturally competent, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in research on attachment, nervous system regulation, and mindfulness. In my practice I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as my working model. EFT is highly researched and has been proven to be effective in helping couples and individuals. I am trauma trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also use the following practices: Mindfulness, Multiculturalism, Mind-Body, Person-Centered, ACT, CBT, Solution-Focused.
I am a lifelong learner and dedicated to continuous education and training. I invest in individual and group consultation and advanced trainings. I am committed to my development not as a requirement but as personal desire and initiative to constantly better myself in service of my clients.
