Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and start building a therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what brings you to therapy and goals you hope to accomplish through your treatment. I will also ask questions about your history, current emotional well-being, daily functioning, relationships/family and stressors. This will help me gain a better understanding of your experience and determine how I can best assist you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have experience working at OB Dept at UCSF and have a special interest in supporting individuals during pregnancy and postpartum.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Help clients gain understanding of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, assess the accuracy/validity of their thoughts, identify alternative thoughts, then link them to feelings and behaviors
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Help clients develop different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients will learn to accept instead of fighting or avoiding difficult thoughts/feelings. Once accept them, clients will focus on what matters most (their own values) and take actions toward meaningful goals for themselves.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Help clients understand how trauma has affected their thoughts/beliefs, identify negative/unhealthy belief/thought patterns, examine the validity of these thoughts , develop healthier, more balanced perspectives.
