I use narrative therapy to gain a better understanding of the complexities of your story, CBT to identify harmful patterns of thoughts and behaviors, and DBT to help you regulate in times of emotional distress.
As a child of immigrants, I understand the duality of living in a culture that is so very different from one’s own. These experiences help to shape my work with my clients, and I am able to provide various different lenses from which to consider common problems. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, familial problems, phase of life problems, or are looking to gain more insight into who you are, therapy can prove to be a useful tool to move towards healing.

It takes courage and strength to seek help – congratulations on taking the next step toward wellness. As a therapist, it is my goal to help my clients develop skills and move forward in achieving their goals. I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore their emotions. I use a combination of techniques including but not limited to cognitive behavior, solution focused, and person-centered therapies. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been trained to view my clients and their concerns using a holistic approach. A holistic approach is one in which both the client and the client’s environment are interconnected and influencing each other. This helps to make lasting changes in one’s environment and self.

In addressing the concerns of my clients, I wish to meet them where they are and then walk with them through the journey of self-discovery and personal empowerment. Critical to this fluid equation is the cultivation of the therapeutic alliance and a sincere focus on deep, empathic listening. I apply the basic elements of mindfulness, whole person perspective, and cognitive behavioral therapy in a series of counseling sessions that aim to guide the client toward their desired goals of healing, balance, and improved inner health. The pressures of modern life can lower a shadow of despair over anyone's sense of well-being.

I've seen firsthand how psychotherapy treatments like EMDR and CBT can change lives.
It's time to step into the next chapter of your life as the best version of yourself, for you and your loved ones. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and questioning your self-worth. Past events are holding you back. They keep resurfacing and bring up difficult emotions, or perhaps they have created disconnection within your relationships. You are hanging on by a thread and worry that if you talk about it or let yourself feel it, that thread will break. But here's the truth: you're ready to change. You’re ready to reclaim your strength, rebuild your self-esteem, and embrace the resilience you already possess.

We all face difficult times in life but when it becomes harder to face life's challenges, depression or anxiety may be a factor. I view therapy as not only an opportunity to learn techniques to manage and cope with symptoms of depression and anxiety, but also as a journey of self exploration, awareness/understanding, and growth. While we can't change the past, we CAN heal contributing factors to depression/anxiety, such as family/relationship problems, trauma/abuse, substance abuse, codependency, and grief.

Feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed, angry, and confused means we’re human; these are emotions we all experience occasionally. But if "occasionally", has become "frequently", it's time to get relief. Finding a therapist who will really hear you, may be your first step to addressing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, over-eating, even parenting problems. My style is honest, supportive and direct. A therapist's job is not to give advice, but to create a safe, non-judgemental place where you can figure out what you need to do. When change seems impossible, therapy provides hope for something different.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
