Strengths
The therapeutic approach focuses on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. I like to use the Strengths-based therapy approach to psychotherapy treatment based in positive psychology. It focuses on a person's existing resources, resilience, and positive qualities, then uses these abilities to improve their quality of life and reduce problematic symptoms. This can be accomplished by helping the patient focus on their abilities rather than deficits. Positive thinking helps encourage patients to want to live in a more positive life and surround themselves with positive others.
Ideal clients
Are you feeling overwhelmed by racing thoughts or a sense of being 'stuck' ? Utilizing evidence-based interventions for mood disorders"; instead, try "using proven tools to help you regain control over your emotions". Do you feel like you're constantly fighting an uphill battle with anxiety or depression? My approach is collaborative and holistic. As a board-certified psychiatrist, I offer thoughtful medication management alongside person therapy style, e.g., CBT or mindfulness] to ensure we are treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis. I will be devoted to helping you find peace and direction in your future. I use a combination ofCognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for actionable change, Psychodynamic for unconscious patterns, Humanistic for self-actualization, and Behavioral therapies for habit modification to help you achieve your goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to treat my patients by balancing acceptance and change. By having a collaborating relationship with my patients also helps them manage intense emotions and self-destructive behaviors through a highly structured program. They often have mistrust with other whereas there is no judgement or expectation except the ones the patients are willing to pursue.
