As a therapist, I don’t “fix” things (or people). I’m here to empower you and work with you to develop your strengths so you can succeed. Therapy isn’t an easy process, but it’s made easier if you have someone to guide you along the way. I look at therapy as mountain climbing: although you may be able to climb the mountain on your own, you could get lost in the forest, or not know which tools to use to make the climb easier. As a therapist, I look ahead to see where you’re going, provide the appropriate tools from the tool box, helping to clear some of the static.
PSYCHOTHERAPY
My practice is client centered and empowerment based. My goal is for us to create an individualized and effective therapeutic space for you to move toward self-actualization through self-discovery and skill development.
I utilize a combination of psychotherapy, skill building work, and evidence-based treatment modalities, and together, we can find a method that works for you and your goals. Coming to therapy means that you’re willing to be vulnerable, and I’m honored that you’re willing to be vulnerable with me.
supervision and consultation
I offer individual case consultation as well as clinical supervision for pre-licensed clinicians. I bring my wealth of scientific knowledge, expertise in eating disorders, trauma informed care, and caregiver stress/burnout, as well as her experience bringing trauma informed practices into oppressive institutions.
Group presentations
I am an informative and dynamic speaker with experience presenting to local organizations regarding the intersection of eating disorders and sexual trauma, trauma informed care, and the PhD student experience.
My background in the hard sciences allows me to bring a unique perspective to the field. As a former chemist, I have a good understanding of how how small molecules (drugs, neurotransmitters, etc.) interact in the brain, and can distill these complex topics into easily digestible information.
