About My Clients
I serve adults, couples and families who struggle with anxiety, depression, self esteem challenges, relationship issues, codependency, mood disorders, work/academic stress, behavioral issues, trauma and substance abuse challenges. I also work with clients experiencing life transitions, acculturation challenges or those who simply want to find purpose and get more joy in life.
My Background and Approach
I employ an integrative approach, in helping my clients. However, when appropriate, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ACT, Mindfulness and Solution Focused Therapy (SFBT). As part of a pilot program designed to change lives and outcomes, I received training and gained experience using CBT, after which, I pursued further training in ACT, Gottman Method and did significant research into Mindfulness. I provide support needed as you work to achieve growth and change. Together, we can explore strategies that allow you to be better able to manage challenges and live a more fulfilling life. My calm, easy going manner, together with my vast life/work experience, creates a safe space where people feel heard, valued and understood.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that every experience and encounter in life has a purpose. Nothing happens by chance. I believe our challenges are not meant to "break" us, but to provide valuable lessons for us to grow, become stronger and live more meaningful lives. Many times, we cannot achieve this alone because change can be difficult. Asking for help is sometimes necessary. It can lead to hope, support and guidance, which is needed to stay on course, as we pursue our goals. The choice to make a change is yours. Take that first daunting step and you may find the fulfillment you've been seeking.
