Approach to Therapy and Professional Interests
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.
Personal Statement on Diversity and Social Justice
I believe that all people should be treated with respect because of the intrinsic value there is in being human and in being alive.
Approach to Supervision
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.
Personal Interests
In my time off, some pastimes I enjoy include going on walks, catching up with friends, cleaning & organizing, and singing.
