All About Isadora
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Years Practicing: Isadora graduated with her master’s last year and began practicing during her internship, giving her about a year of experience.
Why she became a therapist: Isadora’s passion for relationships led her to therapy. Being a romantic, she loves observing families and people. She wanted a career that would allow her to improve people’s relationships, which she believes are among the most important aspects of life.
Therapy Style: Isadora’s therapy style is collaborative and honors the client’s expertise in their own life. She practices EFT, along with narrative therapy, psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and elements of Gottman Therapy. Her approach is eclectic, selecting interventions from different models based on client needs. Isadora primarily works with adult individuals and couples, preferring not to work with children as it’s not her area of expertise.
Favorite Self-Help Book: Her favorite self-help book is “She Comes First,” which explores how men in heterosexual relationships can help women experience sexual pleasure and fulfillment, ultimately benefiting both partners.
Second Favorite Hobby: Isadora enjoys hiking, often taking trails and climbing mountains with friends and family. She approaches it more as a social activity than a competitive sport, relishing the journey and camaraderie.
Greatest Fear: She has a significant fear of spiders, though it’s not intense enough to cause panic attacks.
Best Movie/TV Show: Isadora loved the live-action “The Little Mermaid” movie, appreciating how it expanded on the love story of the original. Being a fan of Disney movies, especially those from the ’90s Renaissance era, she found this adaptation superb.
Coolest Place she has traveled: The coolest place Isadora has visited is Havasupai in the Grand Canyon. She and her family hiked down to this remote area with stunning blue waterfalls, spending three days exploring before hiking back up.
