The majority of my professional experience has been with college students at public and private colleges across the U.S., and I absolutely love to work with college students. While I consider myself a “generalist,” my specialty areas broadly include relationship concerns, multicultural issues, and mindfulness. I am comfortable speaking in Spanish, and provide therapy in Spanish upon request. I also have special experience working with men and masculinity. Check out my website for more information about my specialty areas and me! As a therapist you can expect me to be transparent and unconditionally supportive, but can also expect that I will challenge you to stretch, grow, and to consider new perspectives and ideas. Although I adapt my approach to best meet your needs, there are some overarching values that guide my work. First, I believe that a sense of connectedness is of fundamental importance in people’s lives, and that it is through relationships that we are able to heal and grow. Therefore, I will likely bring focus to your past and present relationships, including, when appropriate, our relationship as therapist and client. Additionally, we will likely work to build awareness and understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and values. When helpful, we will work to modify your behaviors such that they are increasingly consistent with your identified values. Overall, I strive to help individuals develop and utilize their strengths, increase their healthy coping strategies, and foster greater self-awareness, compassion, and acceptance.
