Accepting clients impacted by disaster

Introduction

My integrative, client-centered approach is rooted in interventions that have been empirically validated through rigorous research and include cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Despite being a scientist, my approach is not sterile! I balance my use of evidence-based methods with empathy and compassion. I aim to cultivate an atmosphere of caring curiosity with the goal of increasing self-awareness, enhancing self-compassion, and establishing more effective strategies for coping with life’s challenges.
