Let's Connect (213) 674-3757
My approach is ultimately based on what my client wants to work on- whether that be a short term solutions-focused approach to address system changes in a family/relationship or to manage the aftermath of a crisis situation, a cognitive behavioral approach to brainstorm symptom management that has brought about chaos in their life, or a psychodynamic approach to explore the depths of one's dreams and soul purpose. I specialize in looking at imagination as a problem-solving tool to bring about a change that my client is looking for.
During the first session, I focus on establishing an authentic connection with my client. I listen and ask questions to better understand what it is they are seeking. Consent is very important to me in the therapeutic relationship and I ensure the client has the information they need to make the best decision for themselves.
