First session
I believe in the power of developing strong communication and relationships from our first session. I provide a safe, open, and nonjudgemental space for patients to share their concerns. I spend time getting to know my patients and offer non-pharmacological and pharmacological solutions to overcome their challenges. I ensure that my patients will get the adequate care you need for improved well-being.
Strengths
I am astute at sensing what my patients are thinking and feeling. In relating to my patients, I show warmth and acceptance, empathy, and a focus on them through effective communication.
Ideal clients
I love working with patient that are trying to figure out why they are expressing different mood, personality changes and eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make such a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, depressed, anxious and moody.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
During CBT, I help my patients take a close look at their thoughts and emotions. They will come to understand how their thoughts affect their actions. Through CBT, my patients can unlearn negative thoughts and behaviors and learn to adopt healthier thinking patterns and habits.
Biofeedback
This is an alternative medicine approach that teaches my patients to change the way their body functions. It’s a mind-body therapy that improves my patients physical and mental health.
