Various psychological factors (e.g., perfectionism, emotion dysregulation, emotion variability) contribute to the development and maintenance of depression, anxiety, and general stress (subclinical depression and anxiety symptoms). My approach to treating depression, anxiety, and general stress incorporates CBT, DBT, and EFT to target maladaptive cognition, emotion dysregulation, and to transform emotional experiences (e.g., hopelessness), along with implementing various behavioral strategies to mitigate psychological symptoms.

I value treatment efficacy and people’s subjective experiences in each session. I routinely assess treatment effectiveness during sessions to monitor treatment progress. The goal is that people feel understood and validated, and that the sessions are effective at decreasing their depression and anxiety symptoms. I also strive to help people create a life that is meaningful and satisfying beyond the cessation of depression and anxiety symptoms.
