About
I work with clients who are dealing with self-doubt, betrayal, transitions, persistent worry, identity/cultural exploration and expression, relationship challenges, procrastination, frequent mood changes, negative thoughts and the impact of experiences and family dynamics on your outlook and self-image. My clients are those living with anxiety, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, depression, substance use and more. I affirm BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients. Together we identify ways to manage or eliminate distress caused by cognitive, emotional, behavioural, relationship patterns. My clients learn to assert their needs and to manage conflict in relationships; learn how to interpret and regulate emotions and respond appropriately; learn ways to accept and manage distress; improve interpersonal skills; decrease impulsivity related to eating, exercise or shopping; and deepen insight into how the past affects the present. I use active listening, engaging responses, compassionate questioning, validation strategies and cognitive behavioral interventions to support clients in remaining committed to therapy as they challenge themselves to change well-established behavioral, cognitive and emotional patterns which they find frustrating but have relied on over time.
