Staff Therapist
I work with healthcare professionals, (under)graduate students, people who have hyper-independent, perfectionistic or people-pleasing tendencies, physical disabilities, and chronic illness. I support them in building acceptance and self-confidence, navigating school and career, improving relationships, and exploring identity. Identity exploration can address the impact of family roles, health/ability, age, queerness, cultural background, work/education, and social life. My experience is informed by my decade-long research career on mental health stigma and healthcare access, and my knowledge of higher education and career services.
My approach is depth-oriented, focused on identifying the roots of your issues and understanding patterns. I examine how daily patterns show up in the therapy space, and I work well with individuals who are focused on long-term change rather than short-term solutions. This calls for vulnerability and willingness to develop insight about various life areas.
I am a non-judgmental and compassionate therapist who meets you wherever you are in your journey. If you want a therapist who understands how to be gentle and measured, but also someone who is not afraid to challenge you to grow, then I encourage you to reach out.
