As a Clinical Psychologist, I provide a safe and warm environment where my clients can explore areas of their lives that cause distress. I help clients to uncover their strengths and enhance their potential to heal. The process of cultivating self-awareness, exploring oneself and their relationship world, unpacking deep feelings, processing trauma, coping techniques, create change. When clients are listened to with compassion and sensitivity in a safe space, enormous transformation becomes possible. I also offer many adjunct holistic techniques such as reiki and meditation, if desired. I witnessed beautiful growth over the years.
I am trained in a variety of contemporary psychotherapy techniques and consider myself an integrative Psychologist. I tailor my approach to clients needs and based on symptoms. I’m a relational therapist and draw from psychoanalysis, CBT, Mindfulness and DBT. I have a strength-based approach to treatment rather than a focus on pathology. My aim is to help.
My multicultural background grants me a sensitivity to cultural expressions and their impact on identity, relationships and the therapeutic process. The first question I try to answer when I get a client is: where is the pain? It’s a collaborative process of discovery, which when done empathically can lead to a deep treatment and results. Empathy is critical
