As a psychologist, I have expertise in the treatment of mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. I use an integrative approach that is, overall, person-centered, radically genuine, and intersectional (e.g., explore how your race, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, age, etc. impact your current issues).
I challenge you to be the most values driven version of yourself through empathetic listening, warmth, and authenticity. I model expressing yourself in a genuine way by laughing with you, and even shedding a tear with you. I will assign you work outside of session to guide you toward your goals while also being willing to adjust plans as needed. This is a safe, open, and complicated space meant to engender reflection and growth.
