My guiding principle is to facilitate clients in attaining psychological well-being through personalized intervention strategies. This involves working closely with a select number of clients and providing treatment modalities that are adaptable to their demanding schedules.
I advocate for clients to utilize their life experiences and individual strengths as tools for introspection, enabling them to address their challenges more effectively. Through this process, clients acquire novel skills and alternative perspectives, empowering them to overcome obstacles in their lives. My therapeutic approach extends beyond symptom reduction to foster cognitive flexibility, encourage dialectical thinking, and promote expanded emotional expression, thereby facilitating comprehensive psychological growth.
