How I Work With Students

I strive to work collaboratively with students. My goals are to help individuals better understand themselves, their personal histories, their ways of relating to others, their expectations of the world, and the ways they can feel more fulfilled in life. For me, establishing a foundation of trust, safety, and support are at the core of accomplishing these goals.
 
As the embedded counselor at the School of Veterinarian Medicine, I see all Veterinary students.  I have been trained as a generalist and feel comfortable working with a wide range of presenting concerns. I have a particular interest in issues of self-confidence development, overcoming perfectionism and imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, and couples counseling.
