How I Work With Students

Together, with the student, I seek to foster a therapeutic environment grounded in genuine curiosity, empathy and authenticity.  I come along-side students as they navigate their path to deeper fulfillment and learn to live fully, in ways that honor their unique needs.  I work collaboratively with students to promote wellness in multiple intersections of their lives including academic/professional, physical, emotional, spiritual, and interpersonal relationships.
 
As the embedded counselor at the School of Medicine, I see all Medical Students and have specialty interest in professional and personal identity development, stress, depression and anxiety management, couples therapy/relationship concerns, gender and sexuality, LGBTQ topics, trauma informed treatment, trans-cultural psychology, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and mindfulness.
