Areas of Practice

Psychotherapy

 

I am a licensed therapist with experience working in various health settings and diverse populations in the past 15 years. I am an IFS trained and EMDR therapist.

As a clinician, I have been treating and helping individuals in all of these areas:

  • Anxiety (including social anxiety, phobias, generalized anxiety, panic attacks)

  • Trauma (including history of childhood and/or generational trauma)

  • Self development, incl. identity formation and racial/cultural identity development

  • Work and imposter syndrome, perfectionism, self esteem, self worth concerns

  • Intergenerational and intercultural and generational conflict

  • Life transitions and adjustments to new phases in life or health crisis

  • Grief and loss

Coaching

 

I have been trained and certified in coaching (RCC) as designated by the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches since 2009. I have experience in coaching executives from every level for global fortune 500 companies. I am also certified in DiSC personality assessments.

Prior to my coaching and professional training experience, I was an MBA graduate leading brand teams in consumer products goods for Fortune 500 organizations.

My coaching experiences included helping expat or foreign professionals who were transitioning into personal, corporate and work life culture in the States.

My career planning services go beyond resume writing and interview preparation to planning career succession and networking. I also provide coaching to help you overcome obstacles in professional competency and in navigating workplace politics.

I often get asked what is the difference between coaching and therapy. Coaching will focus on the goals and outlining the steps, obstacles, and accountability to get there. However, therapy involves identifying the core issues and source of the mental health problems while treating it and building coping strategies. If it’s a coaching session, it will feel more directive. Therapy is much more complex and the dynamic will be different and the pace may be slower.

Supervision and Consultation

 

I enjoy helping others in the same profession grow. I offer groups and individual supervision, esp. for mental health professionals who are new graduates looking for mentoring, case consultation, and/or supervision.
