Therapeutic Approach: In my approach to therapy, I strive to help students feel safe to bring all facets of their identities into our time together. I believe feeling heard and understood as your true authentic self lays the groundwork for us to create positive changes in our lives. I work to balance making space for students to share and process their experiences while also empowering them in making practical, tangible changes to their situation, thoughts, and reactions. I tend to take an integrated approach in counseling, drawing upon CBT, behaviorist, skills-based, and psychodynamic frameworks to provide evidence-based counseling which is tailored to my students’ individual needs. My goal is to partner with my students in our work toward their wellness and to give them the tools to maintain their well-being for themselves.
Personal Interests: music, sci-fi, nature, psychology.
