Areas of Expertise
Psychotherapy and Psychoeducation
Throughout my career, I have been honored to guide children starting at age 8, adolescents, and adults through their most challenging times. My toolbox is filled with evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and somatic treatments. Together, we tackle issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma, tailoring the therapy to your unique needs.
Academic accolades and professional recognitions, like being listed among the top 30 therapists in Pasadena and achieving a 5-star rating on Healthgrades, are affirmations of my commitment to excellence. But the true measure of my work is in the progress and peace that my clients find.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is guided by the profound truth that our lives are interconnected. This perspective is woven into every session, ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and valued. I believe in the healing power of relationship and ensure that you feel safe within the therapeutic relationship. My main goal is to alleviate your suffering. As your therapist, I will meet with you first to perform a thorough evaluation. I will listen to you and get to know you. I will be able to formulate an assessment and develop a treatment plan. We will collaborate every step of the way. My approach usually involves a combination of talk therapy with different modalities to target symptoms.
