Areas of Interest

I primarily use a person-centered approach to help build a therapeutic relationship in which people feel safe to share openly and honestly. I aim to provide person-centered care by meeting clients where they are at and helping them with whatever issue they bring through the door. I also like to incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify their values and consider how they can pursue a life more aligned with those values. I also take a special interest in providing harm reduction, LGBTQ+ affirming, and culturally competent care. I'm also a member of the DBT team at CAPS and help facilitate the group.

Areas of Interest

I specialize in working with those with depression, anxiety, trauma, transitions, relationship problems and those who need some kind of change in their lives. I am humanistic and person-centered in approach with a touch of existential/transpersonal awareness. My extensive training in expressive arts therapy in my graduate program and working with clients creatively ever since, is something I love to incorporate when I can. Also, I have many tools founded in mindfulness, somatic therapy, and cognitive behavioral work. I am certified in Brainspotting, a trauma informed technique, and am commited to racial justice while I continue to do my own anti-racist work. I also have interest in healing through grief, chronic pain, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. I have a growing interest in ecopsychology and many other interests in the field as well as in neuropsychology and systems work.
