Approach to Therapy:
I believe in our ability for ongoing growth, while psychotherapy can facilitate the process through helping us gain self-awareness, learn new skills, and overcome difficulties. The initial therapeutic process starts with collaborative development of treatment plans with my clients after careful assessment of presenting concerns, personal strengths and weaknesses, and coping styles. I use integrative approaches (psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and multicultural) in my clinical work tailored to meet the need of each client.
Approach to Wellness:
I enjoy painting, dancing, singing, gardening, traveling, and making “things" for others and myself.
