I am a multicultural bilingual psychotherapist, and your well-being is my ultimate concern. Since the age of 7, I knew I wanted to help others and provide them with the tools needed to overcome life stressor. I have worked with individuals from the age 6 to 93. I love working with people and helping them learn about themselves and watching the process.

I implement an effective psychotherapy method to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations, and I do this by building a therapeutic relationship. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking (irrational thinking) and behavior that contribute to your emotional distress. The central principle of CBT is that our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors, and by changing inaccurate or unhelpful thoughts, we can improve how we feel and act.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based form of cognitive-behavioral therapy originally developed to treat emotion dysregulation and borderline personality disorder. DBT also is useful with many other diagnoses such as, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. We will use mindfulness along with learning how to regulate your emotions. Two opposite things can be true as the same time.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based behavioral therapy that helps you develop psychological flexibility the ability to experience difficult thoughts and emotions without being controlled by them while taking actions that align with your values. Rather than trying to eliminate distressing thoughts or feelings, ACT teaches to make room for them, accept them and learn to continue living a meaningful life.
Trauma-Informed Therapy is not a single therapeutic technique but a framework for providing care that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and emphasizes creating a safe, collaborative, and empowering therapeutic environment. It assumes that many individuals have experienced trauma and seeks to avoid re-traumatization. We will build a safe place for you and collaborate.
