I am a Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping multicultural clients explore strategies to manage mental health, relationship issues, and other struggles.
We can explore your thoughts and emotions in a safe space, helping you take the first step towards a better future.
First session
During our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other. I will ask about your reasons for seeking therapy, your concerns, and your goals. Together, we will establish a comfortable and safe space where you can share about your life and situation openly. This will help me gain a complete understanding of your needs.
Strengths
My greatest strength is my caring and empathetic nature. I focus on creating a safe and calming environment during difficult times, where people feel validated and supported. With my friendly demeanor and strong communication skills, I strive to connect deeply with others on their journeys.
Ideal clients
I deeply understand the struggles that come with trauma, anxiety, depression, and challenges in parenting and relationships. I support clients seeking to navigate these difficult emotions and experiences. If you’re open to exploring your feelings and thought patterns and are ready to take steps toward positive change, I am committed to walking alongside you on this journey. You are not alone in this.
Treatment methods
Integrative
I use integrative therapy because it is a holistic approach that can address multiple issues. It combines techniques from different therapies, emphasizes building strengths, and allows me to work closely with the client, fostering a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship. This cooperative nature ensures you are actively involved in your therapy, making the process more engaging and effective. It also allows me to create a personalized and tailored treatment that considers clients' unique needs, preferences, and cultural backgrounds, encouraging your active involvement and commitment to your healing journey.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help treat mental health conditions, physical health problems, and stressful life situations that may cause depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger issues, panic attacks, and more.
