Clinical Experience

As a psychologist, my practice centers around working with adolescents and adults. I believe in the power of integrative therapy, a holistic approach that takes into account various therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual. A significant aspect of my practice is adopting a trauma-informed lens, which means I am sensitive to the potential impact of past traumatic experiences on my clients' lives and mental well-being.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in different settings, including telehealth and outpatient clinics, where I have encountered and supported a culturally diverse population. This exposure has enriched my understanding of the complexities and unique challenges that clients from diverse backgrounds may face.

My areas of expertise and focus in therapy encompass a wide range of issues that people commonly encounter. These include gender discrimination, identity, and sexuality, as well as navigating life transitions, marital and family difficulties, and reclaiming cultural roots. I am adept at helping individuals address relationship challenges, manage anxiety and stress, cope with loss and bereavement, and work through past trauma.

Furthermore, I have specialized knowledge and experience in dealing with ADHD among both adolescents and adults. This allows me to provide targeted and effective support to those dealing with attention-related difficulties.

Apart from traditional therapeutic approaches, I am well-versed in positive psychology interventions and solution-focused brief therapy. These evidence-based techniques are particularly useful when working with corporate employees, assisting them in enhancing their well-being and resilience in the workplace.
