Family relationships, postpartum experiences, transitions, worry, school and work stress, sadness, immigrant experiences, persistent self-doubt and trauma are some of the things I support individuals through. I provide space to process the psychological stress caused by interactions with people, places and systems that are demeaning, hostile, dismissive and insensitive to minority groups. My clients are able to improve distress tolerance; improve communication and relationships; develop assertiveness and autonomy; address family-of-origin challenges; adjust to life transitions; resolve trauma and more.
I utilize CBT, assertiveness training, mindfulness and behavioral approaches to address clients’ patterns of thinking and behavior rather than their external situation, allowing the clients to dictate the specific issues to be addressed; positively reinforcing experiences and reduce avoidant patterns; help clients express their needs and wants clearly.
A goal of my therapeutic process is to help people understand why they are the way they are, increase compassion for themselves, make conscious and intentional decisions, and make better behavioral choices by understanding the way they think.
