My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Using CBT helps me understand a person's general symptoms. Within this framework, I help people identify problems and strategize solutions to incorporate them into their desired lifestyle.

EMDR

This is where I highlight the patterns that impact in functioning at home, work, education, and social settings. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy explores past experiences to improve present emotional well-being.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

This approach builds on the existing strengths and resources and fosters to collaboratively guide clients in identifying their strengths and creating actionable pathways toward their preferred futures."

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Rogerian person-centered therapy, is one my favorite modality because I create a nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore their authentic selves and find their own path forward." I practice person-centered therapy by providing empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and genuine presence to support clients' inherent capacity for self-direction and growth."

Trauma-Focused CBT

I utilize Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help process traumatic experiences through evidence-based interventions that address trauma-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

Suji definitely helps me sort out my emotions. She teaches me to protect myself and begin to thrive once again by pointing out what boundaries are and also define my own assets of what is really important to me. Suji is the BEST!

Suji is a warm and comfortable therapist to share my feelings with. I feel like much was accomplished today in organizing the events that occurred in my life that possibly brought me to this point. For this being my very first session, I feel like I made the right decision with Suji. I left the session with a lighter heart and felt like I could take a whole breath of fresh air again. Thank You Suji.
