I view my work as a therapist through a multicultural lens, and I customize my approach depending on the unique needs of every individual I work with. Many people have told me they’ve been frustrated by therapists in the past who sat quietly and provided very little feedback. In response, I’ve developed a forthright, solutions-oriented style of engaging with my clients that encourages them to set goals for themselves and empowers them to work toward them. I also have experience working with clients who prefer a softer, less structured approach, so I can customize the therapy experience to each person.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our initial session, we'll begin by introducing ourselves briefly before delving into the specific obstacles you're encountering. By identifying these challenges upfront, we can develop a personalized plan to address them effectively in subsequent sessions. This approach ensures that our therapy sessions are focused and productive, tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Many people have told me they’ve been frustrated in the past when they have left therapy feeling they do not have tangible tools to work with and provided very little feedback. In response, I’ve developed a forthright, solutions-oriented style of engaging with my clients that encourages them to set goals for themselves and empowers them to work toward them. I challenge my client's and point out ways in which thoughts may be hindering growth.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
To change self-destructive behaviors, I believe that people must first change how they think. As a cognitive-behavioral therapist (CBT), I leverage the innate connections between a person’s thoughts, feelings, and actions to enact positive change. By encouraging my clients to question the truth of negative thoughts (such as “people are judging me” or “I’m such a failure”), I help them break out of painful patterns.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice, I also use Solution-Focused treatment, an approach that emphasizes practical solutions and goal-setting. This means that instead of dwelling on past problems, we focus on identifying strengths and finding solutions to current challenges. Solution-oriented therapy empowers clients to set their own goals and actively work towards achieving them. I believe in providing feedback and guidance that encourages progress and fosters a sense of empowerment in clients. I am adept at customizing the therapy experience to suit individual preferences, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported throughout their journey toward positive change.
