How will counselling services help you?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) for Individuals (Complexed PTSD, Sexual Assault and Abuse)
Many individuals I have worked with in my practice have experienced complex PTSD, as well as sexual assault and abuse. I have helped many of them navigate their past experiences and gain the strength needed to live a more fulfilled life. EMDR therapy helps individuals shift their perspective and reduce distress through the use of bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tones, and taps).
Therapy for Couples (Infidelity/Addiction/Intimacy and Communication)
Couples therapy for addiction, infidelity, and intimacy challenges is designed to help partners rebuild trust, heal emotional wounds, and strengthen their relationship. Whether the issues stem from substance abuse, betrayal, or a breakdown in emotional and physical closeness, therapy provides a safe space for both partners to openly explore the underlying causes of their struggles. I use Emotion Focused Therapy and Gottman Method Couple's Therapy to help couple address such issues.
Therapy for Working Professionals(Burnout, Depression, Anxiety and Chronic Illness)
I have over 5 years of experience in helping working professionals manage burnout, depression, anxiety, and chronic illness. I provide a space to address the stress and emotional toll of balancing demanding careers with personal well-being. Through therapy together, professionals can develop coping strategies, manage stress, and build resilience to navigate work pressures and health challenges.
Looking for Culturally Sensitive Care?
Immigration/ Life Transitions
Have you ever found yourself in therapy, feeling that despite your therapist's kindness and gentleness, there's a disconnect? You're not alone. The challenges of cultural adaptation, language barriers, and the sense of displacement that come with being an immigrant can permeate every facet of your life. These shifts in identity can sometimes lead to doubts about your confidence and self-worth. I'm here to stand beside you during these transitions, offering evidence-based treatment modalities and shared experiences for support."
Interracial Relationships/Marriages
Every relationship, at its core, involves merging two unique backgrounds and sets of values. Yet, when partners belong to different races or ethnicities, there may be additional considerations needed to nurture the connection. Alongside the usual challenges faced by any couple, you might find yourselves contending with external pressures, societal expectations, and potential biases. I recognize these struggles from my own experiences, and I'm committed to offering culturally sensitive care. My approach in evidence-based relational counseling is tailored to meet your specific needs.
Racial Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
When you stand out differently as a visible minority, you truly feel the weight of the hurt. Coping with racism or discrimination might lead to self-isolation without even realizing it. Yet, the emotional, psychological, and physical toll of these experiences persist, shadowing you everywhere. I'm here to provide a space of validation and empowerment. Employing a trauma-informed approach, I aim to help you acknowledge these feelings and experiences, while equipping you with the skills to cultivate resilience and self-compassion.
Transracial and Transcultural Adoption
Whether you are parents planning to adopt children from a different race or ethnic background than your own, or if you are an adopted child, there may be moments when despite your best efforts, you feel discouraged. This could be due to various factors, such as a lack of support and understanding from helping professionals, close friends, or family members. Navigating these challenges often requires open communication, empathy, and a willingness to learn and grow together as a family. I am here to offer this support through a culturally responsive lens.
Bicultural Identity Integration
"Who am I?" If you are an individual who grew up with two or more cultures within your household, or if you are raising children with a spouse from a different cultural background than yours, this question might arise more often than you realize. Integrating all aspects of yourself can be a complex process, and at times, you might feel lost due to fear of external pressure or judgment. I offer a secure space where we can identify various aspects of your bicultural identity and work towards an integrated whole, allowing you to live fully.
