My clinical treatment approaches are collage of multiple treatment modalities such as Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT)/compassion focused/ emotional focused/ psychodynamic therapy/solution focused/ and strength based, and for couple's therapy: Gottman theory, Imago method and Emotion focused therapy to name a few. Services and treatment plans are created to each individualized client(s).
Clients can expect to have emotional support and help towards the goal they desire to achieve. Client's will be challenged on their perspective and educated on diagnosis to be informed. Clients will learn how to manage symptoms associated with reason they are seeking treatment along with skill building/ coping skills. Clients will receive emotional support and empowerment.
