EMDR

I have worked with traumatic-event survivors from diverse backgrounds and cultures in various settings such as military bases, combat zones, hospitals, schools, embassies, consulates, to nonprofit homeless ministries. At Texas A&M University-Central Texas, I taught trauma recovery and systemic theory to graduate students earning master's degrees in marriage and family therapy.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

EFT is a successful form of therapy that can help people improve their relationships by enhancing their emotional awareness, expression, and connection. EFT is supported by strong empirical evidence and professional recognition. EFT can help couples overcome various challenges and create a secure and lasting bond.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of therapy that focuses on helping individuals accept their thoughts and feelings, commit to values-based actions, and increase psychological flexibility. I have successfully used ACT to address a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, eating, and depression.

Faith based therapy

Faith based therapy incorporates an individual's religious or spiritual beliefs and practices into the therapeutic process. Successful use of faith-based therapy can vary widely depending on the client's religious background, beliefs. I completed comprehensive Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy training and have a BA in world religion with an emphasis in Buddhism, spend significant time in the middle east, and completed a masters degree in Bible. It's important to note that faith-based therapy is not be suitable for everyone, and clients will need to choose these therapeutic approach if it aligns with their beliefs and needs.
