I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialization in depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, eating disorders, phobias, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, interpersonal difficulties, emotional regulation, and psychological testing. My main theoretical approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and utilizing evidence-based practices. I currently provide individual psychotherapy to adults via Telehealth. In addition to my clinical experiences, I am also bilingual in Vietnamese, a skill that has enabled me to build stronger rapport with the minority population and be more diversity sensitive.
• I completed an APA-accredited internship at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System in Lincoln, NE and an APA-accredited postdoctoral fellowship in Primary Care Mental Health Integration at the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System in Loma Linda, VA. I am VA-certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, an evidence-based intervention for PTSD.
• Interventions I have training and clinical experience in include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT for Insomnia, CBT for Chronic Pain, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Image Rehearsal Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Adaptive Disclosure, Prolonged Exposure, Problem Solving Therapy, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depression.
• In addition to individual therapy, I also have experience in facilitating psychoeducational and trauma-processing groups. I also continue to maintain a strong background in cognitive and personality assessment and have experience with conducting full biopsychosocial intakes, neurocognitive assessments, personality assessments, diagnostic clarification, and pre-surgical evaluations.
