About My Clients
I assist clients with transitions such as changes in family dynamics, romantic relationships, career, educational pursuits, grief and loss, and shifts in health. My extensive background in college student mental health has enhanced my ability to collaborate compassionately and respectfully with individuals from all walks of life, helping them gain a deeper understanding of their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors while recognizing the importance of identities on shaping lived experiences.
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed psychologist in Ohio and New York who has worked in a variety of settings, including health psychology, community mental health, and college counseling. My psychotherapy practice focuses on supporting adults as they navigate challenges that affect their emotional well-being. Recognizing that every individual has unique needs, I employ an integrative approach to psychotherapy. This flexible method combines elements from a variety of therapeutic schools of thought, ensuring that my clients receive personalized care tailored to their circumstances. I consider how environmental factors—such as aspects of your identity and those around you, including race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, ability, religion, and family—might impact your mental health. I approach your journey with sensitivity to these unique influences. I believe that everyone deserves good emotional health, and it would be an honor for me to support you in achieving it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I enjoy the therapy process the most when "we" do the work together regardless of the type of problem that brought you counseling. You are an expert on yourself and my job is to help you listen better to yourself, to help you find and strengthen your voice, and to identify existing strengths and introduce you to new knowledge and skills that will allow you to live a life that is more authentic to who you are. I believe in humans' capacity for positive growth. So, my ideal client is someone who is seeking new ways of being when old ways have become less effective. I am inspired by the resilience and capacity for growth that people demonstrate when provided with the right conditions to learn and thrive.
