As a foreign-trained psychologist, I bring a unique and culturally sensitive perspective to my practice. I'm passionate about working with clients with the willingness to engage in the therapeutic process actively. They seek not only relief from immediate symptoms but also a transformative experience that empowers them to navigate life with greater confidence and purpose. They desire a therapist who can adapt therapeutic modalities to their unique needs, taking into account their cultural background and language preferences.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerned as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

As a counselor, my hope is to empower people to achieve their goals and become their best selves while doing so. I believe counseling is a collaborative effort and should be treated with delicacy and honesty. Taking on a person-centered approach to counseling is important to me because each person should be embraced for their uniqueness. I use evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR to address anxiety, depression, marital conflict, trauma, relationship issues, behavioral issues, emotional disturbances, family conflict, and self-esteem hindrances within a wide variety of clientele.

I often remark on how much we keep tucked away and inside, hidden from view. Many of us have learned to put on a smile, keep going and yet there's deep pain inside that we keep pushing away-thinking there will be a better time to deal with it. And yet, it crops up. Maybe when we are alone. Or when we are rested. And it's a reminder that things aren't quite as they could be.

Embracing imperfection accepting the flaws and loving yourself is the essence of our growth as human beings as we strive to live the life we are meant to live. Mindfulness is the human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Mindfulness is a quality that every human possesses and is able to access. However with life sometimes accessing mindfulness is a challenge and the skill is embracing imperfection in order to access those moments of where we are present.

Many of my clients struggle with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Today's fast paced life presents challenges that often prove too much for us to manage and we may need a helping hand to help get us back on track to healthy living. Often when people abuse drugs or alcohol it is the result of deeper-rooted issues. I try to help my clients search for meaning in their lives and try to make sense of behaviors, learn new ones if necessary, and embark on a healthier way of life. I believe there are many different paths to recovery and am willing to explore different avenues to meet client specific needs.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
