The contemporary definition of empathy is seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another. This is the philosophical mantra of my sensitivity to other people's feelings, emotions, and desires. My genuine, empathetic relationship with clients and mutual trust are essential to successful therapy. I pride myself on being a compassionate listener to individuals who have faced life’s most profound challenges, suffered from mood disorders, experienced trauma, grief, abuse, or relational problems, and suffered multiple stresses, including those related to work and academia.
My philosophy of successful psychotherapy is to use a holistic approach. I always blend elements from different theories and tailor them to the best benefit of my clients. My educational background in psychology and biomedicine allows me to understand the psycho-neurological foundation of mental suffering and how the body and mind interact with each other.
I am devoted to helping my clients to begin the process of healing and change. As a bilingual American of European origin, I have become increasingly sensitive to issues associated with people’s race, ethnicity, and cultural heritage. This has been instrumental in finding the best way to successfully work with people from backgrounds different from mine.
