Therapy I Offer
Psycho-dynamic Psychotherapy
Psycho dynamic therapy focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in the client's present behavior. The goals of psycho dynamic therapy are client self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. Psycho dynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a short-term therapy technique that can help people find new ways to behave by changing their thought patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing the automatic negative thoughts that can contribute to and worsen emotional difficulties, depression, and anxiety. These spontaneous negative thoughts have a detrimental influence on mood. Through CBT, these thoughts are identified, challenged, and replaced with more objective, realistic thoughts.
Inter-personal Psychotherapy (ITP)
Interpersonal psychotherapy is a brief, attachment-focused psychotherapy that centers on resolving interpersonal problems and symptomatic recovery. IPT is a method of treating depression. It is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on you and your relationships with other people. It's based on the idea that personal relationships are at the center of psychological problems.

To see a psychologist/therapist is a very brave and personal decision. It is also one of the best decisions anyone can make since it involves embracing the process of change and transformation. The process of therapy involves Introspection and reflection which brings a shift in the perspective and you begin to understand your situation and the people around you like never before. Although, at times, this may seem challenging in the beginning phase, but rest assured, the rewards are immeasurable. Having an expert psychologist to work with you in this process is an invaluable asset. Committing to the process of therapy help people to enhance and maintain their physical and mental health, promote honesty, build resilience, intimacy and fulfillment in their lives.
It is also important to understand that therapy and counseling differ from friendship. As a trained psychologist, I facilitate you in finding insight and solutions to problems that are keeping you from reaching your full potential. During a session you and I together will do the hard work that will eventually lead you to the find the answers you have been looking for. My clinical training enables me to challenge and support you in ways that your friends cannot. Experience of a supportive therapeutic relationship can give you freedom to express your deep rooted self which can be extremely liberating.
