Areas of Expertise

My clinical work is grounded in a process-based therapy (PBT) framework, which means I focus on understanding how emotional and behavioral patterns develop and what keeps them going, rather than placing labels on you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, selecting tools based on what feels most helpful for you at each stage of therapy.

​

I also incorporate Internal Family Systems–informed ideas when appropriate, especially when you feel pulled in different directions internally, struggle with self-criticism, or notice conflicting emotions. This work is approached with curiosity and compassion, honoring the protective roles different parts of you may have developed over time.

​

As closely working with bilingual and cross-cultural clients, I recognize how language, culture, family expectations, and life transitions shape emotional experiences and relationships. Therapy is a collaborative space where your cultural background and lived experiences are respected and integrated into our work.

​

I believe that people are dynamic rather than fixed, continuously shaped through meaningful life events and relationships. Treatment is paced and reflective, emphasizing psychological flexibility, emotion regulation, and values-consistent action.
