In clinical terms, I integrate interpersonal, feminist, and ACT theories within a multicultural and ecological framework. This means I work from the perspective that relationships are critically important in shaping our lives, including how we relate to ourselves. I also attend to power dynamics and the impact of societal, cultural, and political forces in your life. This allows us to work in a way that supports and facilitates empowerment. I encourage clients to accept themselves and their struggles because this is critically important in creating real, lasting change. Supporting behavioral and environmental changes is also important for many clients. I strive to be aware of and understand both of our worldviews and am sensitive to how our two worldviews may influence therapy.
