Therapist
9 years of experience
- Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Grief or loss, Women's issues
- Individual therapy
My approach to therapy
I draw primarily from Acceptance Commitment Therapy, helping people build value-directed lives even in the presence of life challenges. I specialize in treating OCD, depression, and postpartum mood disorders. I also work with parenting challenges and issues of acculturation (such as international students or individuals living outside of their country of birth).
What you can expect from me
I work with clients to articulate their personal goals, guided by their values. Together, we work to identify problematic patterns and learn different ways of responding to have a more flexible way of living.
