About My Clients
You are a person who wants to make changes, and I am here to help you get there. Do you find yourself thinking about the same thing over and over again? Perhaps your emotions feel intense and difficult to manage. You want to understand yourself better and figure out how to gain control of your thoughts and emotions so you can finally move forward. My clients value an approach that combines scientific rigor with a sense of humor and lightness, making the hard work of change feel more manageable.
My Background and Approach
In my 17 years of practice and expertise in CBT, I’ve learned that people accomplish the best results when they feel they have a true partnership. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is the relationship built between the therapist and the client. When you feel truly understood and validated, it becomes easier to face difficulties and work on those desired changes. I also value scientific rigor and utilizing evidence-based approaches that are known to be effective. Because I love what I do, I am constantly learning about new approaches and staying on top of the latest developments in the field to make sure that you have the best treatment possible. Together, we work on uncovering exactly what has been blocking you. I am an active partner in your progress. I don’t just sit and listen; I collaborate with you to find solutions that fit your life. If you're ready to see if we're a good fit, I'd love to chat. Reach out to schedule a brief consultation.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that change is possible and that it is okay to be exactly where you are right now.Even if you want things to be different. In my 17 years of practice, I have learned that the most profound growth happens when we learn to accept our current reality while, at the same time, working on making those desired changes. I believe that therapy is the unique place where these two ideas meet. I know it may sound complicated! In my experience, when we stop fighting against where we are, we finally lessen our suffering and gain the energy to move toward where we want to be. In addition, I am grateful for my background as an immigrant and the opportunity I've had to live in different cultures. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how people think and feel, adding a level of flexibility and nuance to my work. I am here to be your advocate in this process, combining this multicultural perspective and the warmth of our relationship with the scientific tools you need.
