As the author of Why Are We Fighting: Actionable Strategies for Effective Communication she has developed the IAP Model (Intention-Action-Perception) to help bridge communication gaps and build stronger connections across different relationships, from couples and families to friends and colleagues.
Beyond her focus on communication and couples therapy, Dr. T specializes in anxiety management, offering actionable coping skills tailored to each client’s needs. She also has extensive experience in trauma survivorship, grief support—particularly suicide grief—and clinical evaluations for immigration purposes.
