My approach to psychology is rooted in a holistic perspective, taking into account the biopsychosocial factors that shape an individual's development and presentation. I firmly believe that a person's socioeconomic status, medical history, and cultural background play vital roles in understanding their psychological needs. To provide effective care, I draw from evidence-based psychotherapy practices, particularly cognitive-behavioral principles, which I tailor to be culturally appropriate and responsive to each individual's unique circumstances. Additionally, I incorporate attachment-based principles to gain insights into the obstacles hindering my clients' development and their ability to connect with others. I work with clients to help recognize behaviors in a non-judgmental and compassionate therapeutic environment, in order to reduce shame and guilt, empowering clients to make more informed choices.
My goal as a psychologist is to help clients build a repertoire of healthy coping mechanisms and adaptive behaviors that serve them well in managing stress, emotions, and life's challenges. I am dedicated to fostering a compassionate and culturally sensitive therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their inner worlds and embark on a journey toward personal growth and healing.
