I believe that therapy can look like a lot of different things. My approach integrates psychodynamic techniques supplemented by strength-based and evidence-based practices. I aim to establish a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to address the issues that create distress and dysfunction. Utilizing skills derived from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction helps clients learn to alleviate and tolerate distress and improve relationships. ...

And you're not the only one. It's really difficult to balance all of the competing priorities in college. There's the pressure to do well academically, the constant socializing or feeling isolated away from friends, the emoti...

Self-understanding and self-compassion contribute to self-empowerment and a stable sense of well-being whether alone or with others.

I draw on many approaches in counseling and trauma recov...
