We'll identify triggers for distress, understand how the past affects the present, improve ability to regulate, uncover relationship dynamics and explore behavior patterns in order to manage or eliminate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-worth, adulthood, ADHD, immigrant and cultural identity, mood disorders, school/work stress, relationship/attachment and difficult transitions. I embrace LGBTQ+, AAPI and BIPOC identities and address the impact of homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, patriarchy & more. I take a mind-body, solution focused, goal oriented, short term approach to support clients meaningfully.
I am trained to used CBT, DBT, solution and trauma focused skills such as mindfulness, reframing, regulation and mood tracking. My clients build self-confidence, develop autonomy, communicate effectively, develop emotional resilience, repair irrational thinking, increase interpersonal effectiveness and stop repeating frustrating patterns.
I approach therapy as a collaborative dynamic aimed at accomplishing cognitive, emotional and behavioral goals through building trust, respecting and honoring individual needs, and supporting appropriate growth and development.
