Who I work with: All Students
How I work with students: I work to forge genuine connections in order help students feel valued, cared for, and heard. I have a warm and relational style and integrate mindfulness, nurturing compassion for self and others, and deepening relationship with intuition into my counseling work. I employ an integrative therapeutic approach using humanistic, collaborative, and feminist/multicultural perspectives. My hope is that students can find healing through connection with others and with their authentic self and inner wisdom.
