She became interested in process-experiential therapy in graduate school, where she worked with her mentor, Leslie S. Greenberg. Process-experiential therapy combined her various interests in existential philosophy, client-centered therapy, Zen Buddhism, and gestalt therapy. Currently, she practices, conducts research, and writes about emotion-focused therapy, including empathy, vulnerability, depression, and case formulation. She is interested in the applicability of the process-experiential approach for work with a variety of populations.
