Ideal clients
I enjoy working with new parents, young adults, college students and first generation/children of immigrants. I enjoy exploring childhood experiences, how systems affect our well being and even our self concepts. I am very open to discussing topical events and the effects it may have on oneself. I really enjoy connecting with other first generation adult children on the experiences of being first gen!
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
This approach focuses on your individual strengths rather than just your problems or deficits. It's about identifying what's right with you, not just what's wrong. I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where we work together to identify your unique strengths, develop positive perspectives and create strategies for resilience.
Motivational Interviewing
My approach through Motivational Interviewing involves building a trusting relationship where you can talk openly. Together, we identify and clarify your specific goals and the direction of change that you wish to pursue. We explore your own motivations for change. Rather than telling you what to do, I will listen and help draw out your own thoughts about the need, desire, and ability to change. Collaboratively, we develop a concrete plan of action that aligns with your values and ensures you're comfortable and confident moving forward.
