My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is client centered, insight oriented, and Cognitive-Behavioral. Psychoeducation has always been part of my interventions.

What you can expect from me

During my first session I gather relevant psychosocial information to have an accurate clinical picture/diagnostic impression, and develop an individualized treatment plan; setting realistic goals and objectives. Then we have psychotherapy sessions based on the TP. l have always received positive feedback from clients
