About Me
As someone who enjoys exploring the connection between mind and body, especially within environmental and societal contexts, I’m passionate about helping patients achieve and maintain an emotional well-being that’s fulfilling to them. By making connections between patients’ biological, psychological and social components in understanding their lives and presenting issues, I utilize evidence-based interventions (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy) to improve their wellbeing. I specialize in providing individual therapy, group therapy, psychological assessment and psychoeducational workshops. While I may be the expert in the room when it comes to psychology, my patients are the experts of their own lives.
I have always been interested in psychological assessment, which guides treatment plans that are evidence-based and diagnosis-driven. I have substantial training background in psychological assessment that has helped me in connecting the dots seen in clinical information gathered from a bio-psycho-social perspective.
When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, cooking and savoring good foods, and playing board games.
