AREAS OF EXPERTISE
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE COUNSELING
My approach invites you to explore the role that cultural identities play in how we make sense of our experiences and of the world around us. I provide therapy from a social justice and empowerment framework that allows us to reflect on the ways in which your racial, gender and other aspects of identities impact well-being and your relationships.
TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
I use a strengths based framework that is grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of T/trauma, and emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety in order to create opportunities for my clients to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment in their lives. I have a background in evidence based treatments such as DBT & CBT to provide clients with helpful strategies to help manage symptoms and triggers as they work through their goals in psychotherapy.
INTERPERSONAL PROCESS PSYCHOTHERAPY
I provide therapy that focuses on developing a deeper understanding of how we relate to ourselves and the world. Together, we explore how relationships and life events impact your mood and focus on resolving interpersonal problems and learning more about our communication style. I also offer interpersonal process group psychotherapy.
CLINICAL SUPERVISION
As an early career therapist, supervision and consultation were pivotal to my professional development. If you are a post-degree therapist pursuing licensure as a professional counselor or psychologist in Missouri or Massachusetts, I would love to discuss your unique professional goals and supervision needs.
