There are points in our lives that offer unique opportunities for change and growth. Often these moments are accompanied by painful emotions such as fear, worry, anger, or sadness. This is particularly true in today’s trying times where our familiar routines and usual sources of coping have been disrupted. However, it is precisely these times of struggle that can fuel true personal growth, if you are willing to engage in therapy.
While my overall approach to therapy is guided by contemporary psychodynamic principles, I work in a flexible and individualized manner, always within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. Together we can look at what maintains current difficulties, while simultaneously trying to understand the contributions of past experience
Having experienced my own cultural adjustment to the US, and having worked with culturally diverse adults, adolescents, and children across various settings, I remain aware of the role of culture in my clients' lives. As a former practicing attorney, I also understand the challenges of high-stress occupations and maintaining a work-life balance.
