SUM MARY OF QUAL I F ICAT IONS

A psychotherapist with a wealth of experience in dealing with developmental issues of

young people, and with a strong passion for coaching and counseling adolescents and young

adults with behavioral problems on how to resolve their problems effectively, so that they

can live happily and productively. I use integrative psychotherapy (IP) to achieve these

noble objectives. IP affords me an opportunity to use functional, structural, and relational

s trategies to t reat problems affecting the human personality. I am commit ted to providing

psychotherapy to young people with problematic feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, whose

cause(s) they are misinterpreting such that they end up experiencing problematic intra-

and/or inter- personal relationships. My primary objective is to help these kinds of people to

resolve their problematic emotions with psychologically validated behavioral, rational, and

relational interventions.
