Approach to Therapy:
My approach to therapy stems from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) while incorporating the interpersonal approach under the multicultural lens. As your therapist, I hope to create a comfortable and trustful environment where you can be heard and have your own space. We will work together to notice patterns in the therapeutic environment and gain an understanding and awareness of how previous experiences shape our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I welcome the opportunity to support you by tapping into your value as you give yourself the gift of therapy!
Approach to Wellness:
My approach to wellness is focused on creating a work-life balance, that helps me to be the person and clinician that I like. I engage in mindfulness activities, like yoga to slow down my life. I also love engaging in outdoor activities and day trips with my partner and sharing meals with family and friends.
Supervisory Style:
My supervision style combines a mixture of developmental, multicultural, feminist, and strength-based perspectives. I believe each clinician has unique experiences and skills, so I strive to prioritize addressing their individual training needs. My main theoretical orientation of ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) can also be integrated with supervision.
