Innate empathy, genuine concern, and compassion are personal characteristics that I bring to my role as a clinical psychologist. These qualities have been the foundation on which my clinical strengths have emerged and continue to flourish.

Although I believe that a comfortable, non-judgmental environment that conveys congruence, empathy, and unconditional positive regard are the bedrock of therapy, at times, more directive approaches may be necessary.Nevertheless, it is the client's responsibility for to pursue change. Unlike taking medication for psychological problems, psychotherapy requires sincere effort and willingness to engage on the part of the client.

The purpose of couples therapy, also known as marriage counseling, is to support couples at various stages of their relationship (dating, engaged, married, or anywhere in between). Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a short-term (10 to 20 sessions) and structured approach to couples' therapy developed by Drs.

I utilize an integrative approach to treatment because not one a single therapeutic approach works for each client in all situations. By pulling techniques from different therapy modalities, I am able to provide individuals with personalized strategies that enhance insight and alleviate feelings of distress.
