HOW I CAN HELP YOU
My goal is to support you during stressful life phases and overcome life challenges. Together, we will discuss healthier ways of coping with emotional distress, improve self-awareness, and increase emotional well-being. Therapy can help tackle different types of challenges, and no challenge or concern is too minor for therapy. I provide psychotherapy and psychoeducational assessments. I provide psychotherapy to children (9+ years), adolescents and adults to address various difficulties (e.g., worries, sadness, stress, anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD etc.). Guided by a client-centered approach, I use various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy techniques. I also provide parent management training, where I work with parents to help them support their children’s behavioral and emotional needs. I also provide psychoeducational assessments to children and adolescents struggling with educational, cognitive, behavioral and/or emotional difficulties.
WHAT I SAY TO PEOPLE WHO FEEL NERVOUS OR HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THERAPY/ASSESSMENT
For adults and parents, reaching out or asking for help can be difficult. Therapy provides you with a space that is free of judgement and prejudice that helps you draw meaning from life experiences while being sensitive to cultural differences.
WHAT MEASURES I USE IN ASSESSMENTS
Tests of cognitive abilities (e.g., WISC-V), academic achievement (e.g., WIAT-III), attention abilities (e.g., Conners CPT, Brown ADD scales).

I would love to connect with you!
