I have diverse clinical experiences; part of my interest has been medical education. I have had the opportunity to teach medical residents, medical students, physician assistants, and supervised clinical psychology doctoral and master students. I have also worked at a heart hospital in Oklahoma City and McLaren Hospital in Michigan, a general academic hospital. However my main focus has been seeing clients in outpatient clinics. I sometimes conduct psychological assessments and have been trained in this area. I have experiences working with adult population from different cultural background, and my expertise include mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, grief, and couples therapy.
My approach in psychotherapy include gestalt theory and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I have engaged in Gestalt training at the Gestalt Associates Training Los Angeles (GATLA). I continue to expand my expertise in this area and plan to become a certified gestalt therapist in near future.
It can be challenging to start therapy and share your experiences with someone you don’t know. While starting psychotherapy can be difficult, it can help us to learn more about ourselves and become aware of our behaviors and core values. My approach in therapy is to provide a safe enviroment so you can be yourself, learn more about who you are and become aware of what interrupts your connections with your enviroment, values, or the way you like to live your life.
I am currently open to see new clients. Please let us know if you have any questions.
