At Sojourners Psychological Services, I want to provide a safe space for you to explore various issues that arise in your life journey. These issues can range from life adjustment challenges to serious mental illness. I have experience working with traumas, depression, anxiety, relationship issues (including cross-cultural relationships), cultural concerns, parenting, and personal growth. My primary orientation in psychotherapy is contemporary psychodynamic theory. I believe this theory offers me the depth of understanding a person's psychology. It provides me ways to understand how primary relationships impact a person's development and gives me tools to help others explore the underlying factors of various challenges. While my understanding of psychology is built upon psychodynamic theory, I utilize a variety of treatment approaches to meet the unique needs of each individual. These approaches include, but are not limited to, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma informed care.
