Approach to Therapy and Professional Interests
Integrative approach incorporating person-centered and solution focused theories often utilizing interpersonal process and emotion-focused techniques. Professional interests include trauma work (dating and interpersonal violence, sexual assault, childhood trauma), relationship concerns, grief, identity development, stress management, resiliency, self-esteem/self worth issues.
Approach to Supervision
My hope is to foster a safe and supportive environment for trainees to grow professionally, become more confident in their work with clients and to trust their own clinical judgement. I encourage trainees to try new techniques and challenge themselves in ways to deepen their work with clients. I strive to help trainees grow into their own professional identity and see how their unique qualities can impact their work. I value the clinical perspective of the trainee and hope to foster a non-judgmental environment for trainees to reflect on personal reactions and how these reactions and differences may impact their work with clients. I appreciate personal reflection and investment from the trainee in their supervision experience.
Personal Interests
I love spending time with my family, listening to live music, reading and lounging. When we vacation, we like to snow ski and enjoy a fun trip to the beach!
