First session
My first session with a client begins with brief introductions, then we dive into the specific challenges he or she is currently facing. The interaction will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in the subsequent sessions. After each session, the clients are impressed on the manner that care is being handled.

Ideal clients
Through all of my years of experience, I have worked with clients of all ages but my preferred focus are working with adolescents and above. Although I have no issue with all ages, I see a significant bond with the latter group of patients.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Use of CBT with psychiatric patients enabled me to maintain a structured, goal-oriented process that helps the patient identify and modify negative patterns of thinking and explore negative thought patterns, unhelpful behaviors, and emotional triggers.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps individuals become more aware of, regulate, and transform their emotional experiences. It is very useful in treating a wide range of psychological conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and grief. It emphasizes the role of emotions in guiding behavior, and it helps patients process and integrate emotional experiences in a healthy adaptive way.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is a comprehensive, structured approach designed to help patients with emotional dysregulation and maladaptive behaviors. DBT helps patients improve emotional regulation, tolerate distress, build healthier relationships, and live more balanced lives. Using mindfulness, acceptance, and change, DBT offers a powerful tool for patients to better manage their emotions and navigate life’s challenges.
