New to Grow
In my practice, I provided psychotherapy to diverse adult populations experiencing generalized anxiety, panic symptoms, depression, stress, life transitions/adjustment difficulties, Anger management, relationship issues, family challenges, Women's issue, perinatal mental health concerns including postpartum anxiety/depression and birth trauma. I provide evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Supportive Therapy, Cognitive processing therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Approaches and Solution-focused Therapy.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and start building a therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what brings you to therapy and goals you hope to accomplish through your treatment. I will also ask questions about your history, current emotional well-being, daily functioning, relationships/family and stressors. This will help me gain a better understanding of your experience and determine how I can best assist you.
I create a warm, safe, collaborative and entirely non-judgemental space where we can untangle how you are feelings and what you are struggling with.
My ideal clients are clients with perinatal mood disorders (postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety), birth trauma, generalized anxiety/panic attacks, chronic depression as well as adjustment issues related to life transition, relationship issues, family issue , interpersonal issues or career struggles. I can also work with couples who are going through difficult time due to adjustment issues after having their first child, communication problems.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Help clients gain understanding of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, assess the accuracy/validity of their thoughts, identify alternative thoughts, then link them to feelings and behaviors
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Help clients develop different relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings. Clients will learn to accept instead of fighting or avoiding difficult thoughts/feelings. Once accept them, clients will focus on what matters most (their own values) and take actions toward meaningful goals for themselves.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Help clients understand how trauma has affected their thoughts/beliefs, identify negative/unhealthy belief/thought patterns, examine the validity of these thoughts , develop healthier, more balanced perspectives.
