As someone who has moved around several times throughout her life, my cultural background and identity is difficult to capture in just a few words. Partly due to these personal experiences, in my professional work I aim to understand my clients holistically within their context. I believe in collaborating with clients in setting goals and pursuing the steps needed to reach those goals. I enjoy helping clients reframe situations, create alternative solutions, and celebrate their progress forward. I also value the importance of psychoeducation and breaking down ideas to a relatable level. My therapeutic work integrates multiple approaches, particularly drawing on principles from cognitive behavioral theory, interpersonal psychotherapy, and positive psychology.

I believe that all people should be treated with respect because of the intrinsic value there is in being human and in being alive.

I value seeking clarity, both as a supervisor and as a supervisee. I believe that communicating effectively is one of the most important things for a relationship to work well. To communicate effectively, it is also important to consider and adapt to different personalities, cultural influences, and communication styles. I also believe that great supervisors are the ones who genuinely desire to help you grow, seek to model what they want practiced, and advocate for their supervisee.
