Mindfulness refers to a process that leads to a mental state characterized by nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment experience, including one's sensations, thoughts, feelings, and the environment, while encouraging openness, curiosity, and acceptance. By experiencing the present moment nonjudgmentally can effectively counter the effects of stressors, because excessive orientation toward the past or future when dealing with stressors can be related to feelings of depression and anxiety.

We are what we think. Our thoughts and the stories we tell ourselves become embedded in our belief system. These core beliefs affect there way we approach life, relationships, problems and the way we see ourselves. identifying and reframing irrational and unhealthy ways to interpret our world, can very effectively change the way we feel and the way we respond to situations and events in our lives. I have seen my clients rewire their minds and transform their lives as a result.

In addition to providing therapy, I also conduct Immigration Psychological Evaluations to assist individuals and families in their immigration process. If your attorney suggested that you obtain a report from an immigration evaluation therapist, you’ve come to the right professional. I have worked with individuals from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and I’m experienced in conducting psychological assessments.

Whether you’re suffering from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, unrelenting worries, or an incapacitating phobia, it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with anxiety and fear. Treatment can help, and for many anxiety problems, therapy is often the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy—unlike anxiety medication—treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. Therapy can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; and help you overcome them.

When you’re depressed, it can feel like you’ll never get out from under a dark shadow. However, even the most severe depression is treatable. So, if your depression is keeping you from living the life you want to, don’t hesitate to seek help. Of course, just as no two people are affected by depression in exactly the same way, neither is there a “one size fits all” treatment to cure depression. Therefore, I provide an individualized treatment to fit your unique needs.
