My theoretical orientation is integrative, with a foundational emphasis on cognitive-behavioral theory. In utilizing therapeutic modalities derived from cognitive-behavioral theory, I work with my clients to build a shared understanding of the evidence-based framework that will serve as our scaffold - while allowing space for the idiosyncratic, culturally specific, diverse experiences of each client. I prioritize psychological flexibility, and work with clients to systematically identify values, explore the function of unhelpful beliefs and behaviors, and introduce skills and strategies aimed at mitigating distress and improving their quality of life. Additionally, my work is deeply grounded in multicultural humility, appreciation, respect, compassion, and advocacy. By engaging clients in exploration of their intersectional identities, my intent is to honor their diverse identities, attune to the interplay of cultural factors on psychological response, and to leverage client-specific and culturally meaningful strengths.
