Who I work with: All Students
How I work with students: As a psychologist at the University of Washington, I aim to create a comfortable, collaborative space where students can talk openly about whatever is on their mind. My approach is centered around Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on helping my clients accept difficult emotions and thoughts while also committing to actions that align with their values. If faith or spirituality is important to you, I ‘m here to explore those aspects of your life as part of our work together as well. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, relationships, or big life decisions, I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support and practical tools to help you move forward with a sense of purpose and clarity.
