A Personalized Plan for Lasting Change
Together, we will create a personalized plan for change—typically within the first one or two sessions. From there, I will take actionable steps toward transforming your situation and your life. You don’t need to worry about where to start or what to say; I will guide you every step of the way. I specialize in child, adolescent, couple, marital, and family relationships using a cognitive therapy approach to dismantle the maladaptive patterns that keep us stuck.
A Practical, Holistic Approach to Healing
My approach is practical, focused, and down-to-earth. It is specifically designed to help clients minimize emotional pain while successfully resolving their challenges. In addition to these core principles, I draw from a variety of psychological traditions, including Gestalt, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness Psychologies, integrating the best of both Eastern and Western approaches.
I also incorporate the latest advances in neuropsychology to understand how our brains function and influence behavior, facilitating lasting change. Trained in Marital Therapy, Family System Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance, Commitment, and Forgiveness Models, as well as Eastern Psychology and Spiritual Counseling, I tailor my methods to meet each client's unique needs.
