My Approach
The Science of Emotion- Neurobiology of Relationship
Recent advancements in imaging technology have enhanced our understanding of the emotional aspect of the human brain. The Limbic System, often referred to as the “Emotional Brain,” particularly the Amygdala, plays a crucial role in controlling emotions. As a Physiologist and Cognitive Behavioral therapist, these developments are personally exciting for me, as they deepen my insight into the neurobiology of relationships and emotions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a strength-based approach to psychotherapy that diverges from traditional problem-solving methods. We focus on solutions, unlike many traditional therapies, SFBT is not tied to a single theory and does not dwell on a client’s past. SFBT aligns with constructivism, which posits that people create their own realities. It is short-term and goal directed.
Narrative therapy is a style of therapy that empowers you to become experts in your own life by exploring and reshaping the stories that you carry with you. It is non blaming and empowering. Narrative therapy invites you to rewrite your story and discover new possibilities.
Our feelings are a beautiful dance of hormones, brain regions, and emotions—a symphony orchestrated by our neurobiology. Emotional systems in the brain are interconnected and influence each other. Love, attraction, and attachment involve intricate neural circuits and chemical signaling. My training in Physiology helps me understand the interaction and helps my clients cope with the struggles.
The mind controls the body, but the body can also influence the rational mind (Dualism). There is also a belief (Monism) that the mind and body are inseparable or even the same. Beyond philosophical debates, the mind-body connection impacts our mental health. Our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can positively or negatively affect our biological functioning.
