Therapy Approach

I view therapy as a collaborative and iterative process. I bring my training and clinical experience, while you bring essential knowledge about yourself, your life and experiences, and what has (or has not) worked for your mental health and well-being. Whatever you bring into session, you can expect to be met with warmth, empathy, compassion, and nonjudgmental curiosity. Together, we will develop new understandings and approaches, build on your strengths, deepen self-compassion, and identify and take meaningful steps toward a life that feels more sustainable and fulfilling.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches and tailor therapy to your needs, goals, values, and experiences. Rather than relying exclusively on a single therapeutic model, I draw on different perspectives and strategies according to what may be most helpful at different points in our work. We’ll regularly discuss what is and isn’t working so that we can adjust and refine the therapy to keep it personalized, responsive, and useful to you.

Central to my approach is understanding you as a whole person rather than viewing the concerns that bring you in as separate from the rest of your life. Your emotional well-being is connected to your identities, relationships, cultures, work, values, personal history, and circumstances. Exploring how these parts of your life influence one another can help us understand your concerns more holistically and identify realistic ways forward that fit with your life as a whole.

Professional Background & Scholarship

Career & Vocational Psychology Researcher

In addition to my clinical work, I remain active as a researcher in work/career psychology topics. I have been published in peer-reviewed journals on topics such as career self-management, career sustainability, proactive career strategies, psychological & financial coping during unemployment, among others.

This research background allows me to integrate psychological research and theory on career development with psychotherapy tailored to each client’s needs and circumstances.

Professional Experience in Higher Education

Beyond my experience as a therapist, I have extensive professional experience as an educator, college career counselor, and study abroad program manager. In these roles, I worked extensively with college students and other young adults. That experience particularly informs my work with young adult clients navigating academic and career decisions, transitions into working life, and the connections among education, work, identity, and mental health.
