My greatest strengths as a mental health provider lie in my empathy, active listening, collaboration with clients, knowledge and expertise, compassion, cultural sensitivity, and commitment to ethical practice.
I help adults with general mental health disorders who are struggling with irritability, fluctuation in mood, inability to concentrate, poor interpersonal relationships, insomnia, decreased or increased appetite, fear and worrying for unknown reasons among other symptoms to improve their lifestyle and become more productive and successful in their daily tasks. I offer both traditional and integrative psychiatric care that goes beyond medication management and includes solution-oriented psychotherapy, lifestyle coaching, supplements. and mindfulness meditation.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. In my practice, I utilize CBT techniques to help clients recognize how their thoughts and actions contribute to their anxiety. We work together to challenge irrational beliefs, develop coping strategies, and gradually confront fears through exposure exercises. This approach helps clients gain insight into their anxiety and acquire practical skills to manage it effectively.
