Approach to Therapy and Professional Interests
I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client and I work together to find the best ways to foster that growth and development. I take an interpersonal process, feminist approach to therapy with a large focus on how our relationships with others impact our views of ourselves and the world, as well as how we can be more active in those relationships. I also place a strong emphasis on the cultural and societal factors that impact students. My hope is that through a combination of strong therapeutic connection, self-discovery, and engagement with skills both in and out of therapy my clients can achieve their goals.
My professional interests include: eating disorders and body image concerns, social justice and diversity issues, trauma (sexual assault, partner violence, childhood abuse), and grief.
Approach to Supervision
I strive to create a supportive space in supervision for supervisees to examine their areas of growth and strength, as well as encourage curiosity and innovation in therapy. I aim for supervisees to utilize supervision as a place to not only expand and hone their clinical skills, but also as a place to explore how their personal values, biases, and culture play out in the room with clients. Through this process, I hope to empower supervisees to develop a deeper sense of their own clinical skills, style, and professional identity.
Personal Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games and board games. I also enjoy cooking and spending time with my fur babies and my husband.
