What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is always an intake assessment where I collect background information, get to know your goals and aspirations.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked with young professionals, entrepreneurs and over achievers for over 15 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

During sessions we'll explore long-standing behavioral patterns or negative perceptions that cause you distress. Together we'll identify targeted goals for treatment. You could expect to unpack baggage, process challenges, be challenged, feel supported & empowered.

Strength-Based

Utilizing a coaching style and strength based approach, I've helped my clients build a positive mindset, strengthen sense of self and recognize their personal strengths to overcome limiting beliefs, achieve their personal goals and increase motivations.

Multicultural

As a First generation American born to a multi-racial immigrant family, I can support you around issues related to racial/ethnic identity, challenges of being first generation American or person of color. I have a passion for Mental Health and hope to destigmatize mental health services in BIPOC communities.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Utilizing a solution focus approach, I help over achievers and entrepreneurs overcome mental health challenges related to anxiety, burnout, stress, overwhelm, depression, impostor syndrome and the challenges that come with achievement so they can simultaneously be successful and live more life.
