I'm a counseling psychologist, trained as a researcher and therapist, with a passion for life-long learning. I view counseling as a creative process where we work collaboratively to uncover the root causes of what’s getting you stuck. In tandem, we work to discover what brings you a sense of meaning and purpose in your life. I specialize in working with adults who are interested in self-growth and identity development, in addition to finding relief from symptoms. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress/burnout, career development, and building self-esteem & self-compassion.
Therapy sessions with me are insight oriented and emotion-focused, with special attention directed toward your relationship with yourself and others. I practice from a trauma-informed perspective and incorporate systems of privilege and oppression into understanding my clients’ experiences. I work actively to see my blind spots and to build accurate empathy.
It is my goal with all clients to build a trusting relationship where you feel deeply understood. If it sounds like we might be a good fit, or you’d like to find out more, I warmly welcome you to reach out via phone or email for a free 15-minute consultation.
