Please be mindful that my practice is currently offering only telehealth services

In the first session, I start my process by giving a brief introduction about the therapeutic process and answering any questions you may have for me. I will then follow up with questions about your issues and explore more about your background. I also like exploring your strengths that can be beneficial to the therapeutic process.

My niche is in relationship and marital issues, anxiety, self-esteem issues, family-related, immigrant related and racial issues, trauma and other life issues. I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and use the Gottman Method Couple's Therapy in my work to help my couples to manage conflict.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions & experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings.
