Throughout 10+ years in learning and practicing psychotherapy, I have been extremely fortunate to receive diverse rigorous training that honed my ability to integrate mindfulness, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and multicultural approaches for client-centered personalized treatment.
For example, during my years at Massachusetts Mental Health Center/ Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/ Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry and later at Cambridge Health Alliance/ Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry, I received intense training in CBT for Psychosis, DBT for Borderline Personality Disorder, and short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy for Anxiety Disorders. I served both underprivileged patients with severe mental illness as well as higher functioning clients in the community while working in a multidisciplinary team with other psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, occupational therapists, and community-based flexible support workers.
Over the years, I have provided individual therapy, couples therapy, group therapy, crisis intervention, and psychological evaluation including diagnostic interviews, learning disabilities assessment, ADHD assessment, and personality tests. I also conduct practice-based psychotherapy research.
