I utilize a variety of effective treatment approaches including cognitive-behavioral theory, relational theory, and family systems theory. I often incorporate the use of mindfulness. In addition, I consider the impact of multicultural factors in my work with clients.

I believe that emotional growth is best achieved within a non judgmental, compassionate and safe therapeutic relationship. I recognize that each person is the expert on his or her life and we work collaboratively to identify areas clients would like to address. The client and I work together to examine thoughts, feelings and behaviors; we identify patterns, develop tools, and find ways to respond differently. Understanding and strengthening relationships is also a crucial part of my work with clients. Ultimately, I focus on clients' strengths and work to empower them to promote positive growth, change, and healing in their lives.
