My approach to care is a balance between practice supported by research and recognition of the limits of our existing research while valuing a person-centered holistic approach. I use a multiculturally informed framework while drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
While our working relationship is a professional one, I value authenticity and think it is an essential component of a building a good, working relationship. For me, that means humor, sarcasm, and the occasional swearing might be part of our sessions. More importantly, I hope you find that you are able to be your whole, authentic self in our work together, especially if you are someone who has experienced difficulty in finding such spaces in your life.
