Her approaches to therapy include Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Gottman Method, and Integrative Family Therapy (IFT). She often finds it helpful to initially focus on attachment and early childhood experiences as a type of blueprint for her clients since these experiences can play a major role in our beliefs, thought patterns, and how we respond to the world around us. She is also very interested in neurobiology, how our experiences and interactions with others can affect the wiring in our brain, and how these neuropathways can be rewired through psychotherapy.
