I employ various psychotherapy approaches tailored to each client's unique needs, personality, and culture. For psychiatric symptoms, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often essential. My therapy is strength-based and trauma-informed. Additionally, I enjoy deepening the understanding of one's subjectivity through psychodynamic (psychoanalysis) therapy.
