SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
As a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in psychological assessment and evidence-based treatment, I provide individualized psychotherapy for adults navigating a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. My clinical background includes working with individuals from diverse backgrounds—including first responders, high-stress professionals, and members of the general community—who seek greater balance, insight, and emotional well-being. In my work, I also support clients coping with unique life transitions such as immigration-related stress and the emotional adjustment surrounding bariatric surgery, offering a safe and supportive space to explore identity, resilience, and self-worth. I specialize in treating concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, occupational stress, and interpersonal difficulties through an integrative and compassionate approach that fosters healing, growth, and lasting change.
GROUP THERAPY
In addition to individual therapy, I offer group psychotherapy designed to foster connection, shared understanding, and mutual support among individuals navigating similar challenges. My groups provide a safe and structured environment where participants can explore themes such as stress management, emotional regulation, resilience, and interpersonal growth. Drawing from my experience working with first responders, high-stress professionals, and individuals coping with life transitions—including immigration-related stress and post-bariatric adjustment—I tailor each group to promote insight, skill-building, and a sense of community. Through guided discussion, evidence-based techniques, and peer collaboration, group members learn to gain perspective, enhance coping strategies, and strengthen emotional well-being alongside others who truly understand their experiences.
IMMIGRATION SERVICES
I provide specialized psychological services to individuals and families navigating the emotional and practical challenges of the immigration process. My work in this area includes both therapy and comprehensive psychological evaluations for various immigration cases, such as hardship waivers, asylum, VAWA, U visa, and T visa applications. I understand that these experiences often carry significant emotional weight—ranging from anxiety, trauma, and uncertainty to the stress of family separation or cultural adjustment. Through therapy, I help clients process these experiences, strengthen resilience, and foster hope and stability during times of transition. My evaluations are conducted with cultural sensitivity, clinical rigor, and compassion, ensuring that each client’s story is conveyed authentically and thoroughly to support their legal case and overall well-being.
BARIATRIC PRE-SURGICAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
I provide comprehensive bariatric pre-surgical psychological assessments to help individuals prepare emotionally and mentally for the life changes associated with weight-loss surgery. These evaluations explore a client’s readiness for surgery, coping strategies, eating behaviors, and support systems, ensuring that each person is set up for long-term success and well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and non-judgmental—aimed at helping clients identify strengths, address potential challenges, and develop effective tools for sustainable lifestyle change. Beyond the assessment itself, I also offer therapeutic support to assist with adjustment before and after surgery, fostering self-confidence, resilience, and a positive relationship with one’s body and health goals.
