About My Clients
Are you a people-pleaser, overthinker and/or perfectionist, who is looking for a non-judgmental, transformative space to gain insights and self-awareness about why your inner critics are so loud? You may be feeling exhausted from putting yourself down and dismissing your own needs in the name of productivity, achievement, or avoiding rejection and mistakes. You have spent enough time being harsh on yourself. It's time to be kind to yourself.
My Background and Approach
Utilizing empirically supported treatments, I strive to help my clients make their decisions based on healthy, wise mind, not based on fear. We will collaboratively explore bio-psycho-socio-cultural factors (e.g., family, trauma, 'isms') influencing and interacting with your symptoms, with the goals of improved self-awareness and positive behavioral changes. I'm a good fit for someone who needs a gentle, warm, and collaborative approach in a safe space, where their Wounded Self can be soothed and processed deeply. With the past 10 years of working at various universities, I have a deepened understanding of research findings and effective interventions. I also strive to provide affordable, high-quality care.
