Hello! I am a licensed psychologist who works with individuals and couples. I specialize in evidence-based therapy (CBT and ACT) for a range of mental health concerns. These include anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, phobias, perinatal mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder. My training background in medical settings has informed my experience in behavioral health/health psychology such as in the adaptation of lifestyle changes benefiting physical and mental health and working with clients to extinguish unhelpful habits, including in the treatment of sleep disorders and ADHD.
I explore issues that contribute to an individual's symptoms of anxiety and low self-esteem, adddressing issues unique to identity development, acculturation, spirituality, life stages, and family-of-origin and romantic relationships.
My therapy style is founded in a positive, strengths-based approach to foster a balance of self-compassion and accountability to assist clients in recognizing their innate value and true potential, while facilitating a sense of personal empowerment in their lives. Please refer to my website at: www.drsaharcbt.com for more information.
