I specialize in individual therapy for adults.  I have 3+ years of experience working with university students and continue to be passionate about helping young adults overcome their unique challenges to grow and flourish in new environments.

My Approach

I believe that finding a safe space to share and reflect on our experiences is often the most important factor in healing. Given this space over time, we can make decisions that support our well-being on our own terms. I strive to create this calm and open-minded environment with a style that is curious, empathic, and honest. Using an integrative approach, we may use a variety of techniques and ideas to assist with your personal goals.

Common aspects of my integrative approach:
Client-centered approach
This is my foundation; a supportive approach grounded in empathy, transparency, and an open and nonjudgmental attitude. 

Relational approach
Often our relationships with others (family, friends, significant others…etc.) occupy our thoughts and have an impact our mood.  With a relational approach, we can learn from our therapy relationship “in the moment” and apply these important lessons to other relationships.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps us examine how our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors.  Through examining our thoughts, we can find emotional relief and behavior change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT encourages mindfulness and acceptance as a way to cope with negative thoughts, feelings, or circumstances. It also encourages increased commitment to healthy and constructive activities that uphold your values or goals.

Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology is meant to help increase positive emotion, engagement, and meaning in your life.
