I believe in infusing therapy with warmth, humor, and a touch of playfulness. In addition to incorporating approaches like Narrative Therapy, The Gottman Method, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Family Systems, I also integrate the power of humor and play. Laughter can be incredibly healing, and embracing playfulness can often open new doors for understanding and growth.
