Therapy style
I take an eclectic approach to therapy, incorporating aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-focused, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Narrative therapy, Brief Psychodynamic, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Person-centered therapy. My communication style is adapted to the client's needs. I naturally take a compassionate, warm, unconditional stance in the therapeutic relationship while keeping a semi-structured and boundary-oriented approach in session.
