Get To Know Me
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My therapy approach integrates elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I emphasize creating a supportive environment where clients can develop skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and fostering personal growth. Central to my practice is building a trusting relationship that respects each client's unique experiences and strengths.
If you could pick one movie or book that influenced your approach to therapy, what would it be and why?
If I had to choose one book that significantly influenced my approach to therapy, it would be "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel Van der Kolk. This book has profoundly shaped my understanding of trauma and its effects on both the mind and body. It emphasizes the importance of integrating holistic approaches into therapy to help clients heal from past experiences and regain a sense of safety and well-being.
