Therapy style
My extensive work in marriage and family counseling, non-profit organizations, and inpatient and outpatient clinics with a diverse clientele and immigrant population allows me to provide a competent multicultural view with an interactive approach for clients of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. My therapy style is eclectic where I integrate elements from different approaches based on their clients' needs and preferences. Additionally, I emphasize the therapeutic relationship and consider it as a crucial factor in promoting healing and growth, regardless of the specific therapeutic approach.
