Creating a safe, warm, active and collaborative therapeutic environment is core to my treatment approach that focuses on helping clients explore their experiences, perspectives, and personal identities, as well as develop insight, find healing, improve relationships, and experience personal growth and empowerment. I respect and value the diversity of each client, focus on their unique social and cultural context, and believe each therapeutic relationship takes a different path depending on these factors. I enjoy working with a range of clients, including adults and students. Currently offering in-person and video-counseling.
My interests include anxiety & depression, relationship challenges (e.g., within family and friendships, dating, marriage, divorce, parenting, etc), healing from trauma & significant stress, identity development & sexual orientation, mindful living, and cultivating self-compassion.
Depending on each client’s unique needs, I draw from various theoretical perspectives, including mindfulness and acceptance approaches (e.g., Acceptance & Commitment Therapy/ACT, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy/MBCT), relational, developmental-contextual, & trauma specific techniques (e.g., EMDR, somatic work, trauma sensitive yoga).
