I work with clients who are trying to prioritize their mental l health while battling with stigma surrounding mental health. We will delve into the false narratives clients may have received from family and their larger society about emotional well-being. Clients learn that facing and validating their feelings becomes key to feeling more in control of their decision-making.

I stay away from a "one size fits all" approach in treating patients and focus on getting to know a patient so that we can find a mix of treatment modalities that work for them. My work with patients is centered on helping them feel empowered to implement lifestyle changes that help them to cope with life's stressors independently. Therapy doesn't become a crutch and patients can live confidently.
