Therapy style
My clinical interests include perinatal mental health, depression, anxiety, trauma, problems related to immigration, and intergenerational conflicts. My approach in treatment is collaborative and supportive. I utilize an integrative approach to therapy. I frequently utilize techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Solution Focused Therapy and more.
Throughout the course of therapy, I will focus on your individual needs, the therapeutic relationship, and identifying various techniques to support you.
