LP, 12 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist experienced with both adults and children. My extensive experience with diverse populations allows me to better understand my clients and help them achieve their therapeutic goals. I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults. In addition, I have experience working with adults struggling with life challenges. I have over 12 years of experience working in the field.
During the first session, I like to gather information about the current concerns and what the client wants to get out of therapy. The first session is mostly getting to know the client and building that trust to start the therapeutic alliance.
I have over 12 years of experience working in the field helping others feel better and overcome obstacles in life. During our sessions, my main goal is to fully understand what is the problem the client is facing and work together to find a helpful way of managing the situation.
I love working with clients who want to feel better and regain their joy in life. My goal is to help them find ways to overcome challenges at hand.
In therapy, I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in order to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behavior. In collaboration with the client, effective coping strategies are identified to manage presenting life challenges.
I use DBT techniques to teach clients mindfulness, emotion regulation, effective interpersonal skills and distress tolerance. These skills will allow clients to cope effectively with intense emotions and complex relationship dynamics.
