Description of Counselor/Practice

It's hard to go through life unscathed by the constantly changing social, political, economic, environmental factors. For some of my clients, there is an added layer of immigration related stress as well. If you are experiencing stressors around work/school, work/life balance, burnout, communication challenges in relationships, immigration, acculturation, or even symptoms of depression, anxiety that impact your life in some way, then you're in the right place. My training has been primarily in the use of evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These approaches help people feel more empowered to make changes in their lives, or to otherwise think, feel and behave differently regarding their circumstances. I tend to infuse interventions into a conversational, strengths-based approach that is centered on your experience. I also take into account the impact of contextual and systemic factors on people’s lives.
