Approach to Therapy and Professional Interests
I utilize an integrative approach with emphases on culturally sensitive cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic perspectives. Professional Interests: Therapeutic writing; spirituality; diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice; wellness; relationship concerns; women’s issues.
Approach to Supervision
I see supervision as offering the privilege to contribute to trainees’ development, while providing opportunities for my own growth. I utilize a developmental approach that includes an assessment of trainees’ current strengths and growth edges and working collaboratively with them to clarify and make progress toward their training goals. Attending to how our various identities and other cultural factors intersect and shape the supervision relationship is a salient component of my approach to supervision.
Personal Interests
Some of my favorite personal interests are staying in touch with my large and expanding family, writing, reading, dancing, and traveling.
