What's your experience with clients with stress?
As a high achiever, you may find yourself bogged down by perfectionism - the unattainable - which leaves you disappointed, feeling down, and stuck. Perhaps you feel discouraged by the critical voices that impact your ability to perform at your greatest capacity. By developing self-compassion and confidence, you can more effectively tackle your responsibilities and take better care of yourself while working in a high stress profession.
Hi, I’m a clinical psychologist licensed in the states of California and Iowa. I have specialized experience working with culturally diverse adults struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship difficulties. Moreover, I have a subspecialty treating mental health symptoms influenced by women specific issues, such as postpartum depression, menopause, gender role challenges, and body image concerns.
I also help couples who want to develop deeper intimacy, increase emotional safety, and communicate more effectively with one another.
Overall, my passion lies in helping people 1) address shame by cultivating self-compassion, 2) develop healthy relationship boundaries, and 3) live a values-based lifestyle.
In all my work, I prioritize creating a space of radical acceptance and safety for individuals to examine their lives honestly and accurately. I am confident that radically genuine living is a life worth living, and I strive to help patients develop an inner haven through which they can live unapologetically as their true selves.
