My training and expertise as a clinical psychologist allows me to provide comprehensive assessments for adults facing a range of mental health challenges, such as low mood, anxiety, sleep difficulties, life transitions, interpersonal difficulties, and psychosis. My assessment often informs the treatment modalities that I choose as well as how they cater to your overall goals. I like to work together in establishing goals and check in from time to time to see if that has shifted or if we are needing to try a different approach.
My treatment approach is integrative. Depending on your previous therapeutic background and current goals, I will select relevant tools and modalities accordingly. I also incorporate your lived cultural experiences and temperament (or personality) in my overall understanding (or conceptualization) when moving forward with a treatment plan.
Therapy can be really daunting. A lot of previous therapy experiences can even taint people’s ideas of therapy. This is why I am a huge proponent of finding the right fit. That is why I ask every person that I work with to let me know if they do not feel the right fit at any point, and I will do my best to try to connect them with someone else that I trust.
