AREAS OF EXPERTISE
WHAT TO EXPECT IN SESSIONS
I specialize in evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and approach psychotherapy as a collaborative, goal-oriented process. Together, we will work in an open, supportive, and non-judgmental environment to build flexibility, address challenges, and develop effective strategies for managing difficulties.
Evidence-based therapy is grounded in scientific research and clinical expertise, offering proven techniques to support mental well-being. Approaches like CBT, Prolonged Exposure, and Mindfulness-based therapies have been rigorously studied and shown to provide lasting benefits. While these treatments follow research-backed principles, therapy is never one-size-fits-all. We will tailor strategies to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and meaningful path to healing.
My practice takes a holistic approach, exploring the many aspects of your experiences—thoughts, emotions, beliefs, memories, relationships, and life goals. We will also examine how broader influences, such as family, friendships, and work or school environments, shape your identity and well-being.
I am dedicated to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment where every individual feels valued and respected. I understand that each person faces unique challenges and experiences, and I am committed to providing compassionate care that honors your background and needs. Your comfort and well-being are my top priorities. Through a personalized and supportive approach, I strive to create a space where you feel understood, empowered, and guided on your path to healing and growth.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS
I provide psychological evaluations for immigration cases often used in: asylum, extreme hardship, spousal abuse, removal of conditions.
I conduct evaluations in my office, at the Northwest Detention Center, or other local organizations/agency if space permits.
GETTING STARTED
Initial Consultation
I invite you to reach out via phone or email for a free consultation to discuss your concerns and explore whether we would be a good fit for your therapeutic needs. Before our first appointment, I will send you an email with intake paperwork for you to review and complete at your convenience.
First Appointment
Our initial session will focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and collaboratively setting treatment goals. I will explain my therapeutic approach, discuss how we can tailor treatment to your unique needs, and outline potential interventions. This session is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions and determine if you’d like to move forward with regular sessions. If needed, I will offer appropriate referrals.
Insurance and Rates
Payment is due at the time of each session. I do not accept insurance but can provide you with an invoice (superbill) if you wish to seek reimbursement from your insurance provider. I encourage you to check with your provider beforehand to clarify your coverage. Please feel free to contact me for information on current rates.
