As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I believe that people’s emotions and behaviors are influenced by their perceptions and interpretation of events. People often face new challenges as they go through transitions. I work collaboratively with my clients in a proactive manner in order for them to learn effective strategies that they can use for the rest of their lives. I also believe that we are influenced by the cultural context in which we grow up. All relationships are to some extent contextual and intercultural. I bring my life experiences and professional knowledge to therapy with cultural awareness and sensitivity.
