What will it look like to work together?
Goodness of Fit
I believe that goodness of fit is essential to any therapeutic relationship. This is backed by research and demonstrates that the relationship itself can facilitate change.
Each one of us has our own story. We are all made up of a unique composition of context, history, and culture, and I will tailor therapy to be the best fit for who you are.
Therapy is a journey, and treatment will evolve with you. Let’s grow.
My Therapeutic Style
I am an integrated therapist, which means I will draw from many types of therapy in our work together. This allows us to be flexible and adjust therapy to your needs. Please read more about the different types of therapy and ask me if there is a specific approach you would like to know more about. My foundation is an insight-oriented approach in which awareness is the agent of change. For those who are more practically minded, I offer solutions and tangible skills that you can apply to your daily life.
I value a holistic lens that acknowledges your whole self, and with this, I believe in recognizing your inherent health rather than pathology. I will use a strengths-based approach with you whenever possible.
In the room, I work hard to establish safety, non-judgment, and introspection. My style depends on collaboration, warmth, honesty, and genuineness. I believe humor and unconventional thinking can take us far together.
Education and Training
I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Pacific University. I trained in many settings and gained expertise in several areas:
I worked with marginalized teens at Job Corps for several years where I focused on the establishment of safety, stabilization, and meeting one’s physical and emotional needs.
I discovered a passion for working with the trans and gender diverse community while training with Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper, a pioneer and international expert in the area. My dissertation focused on the overlap between Gender Dysphoria and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
During my predoctoral internship in Anchorage, Alaska I worked with Alaska Native peoples, deepening my expertise in trauma-informed work, cultural and intergenerational patterns, and spirituality as a mode of healing.
Finally, I completed two years of postdoctoral training at Madison Park Psychological Services, one of the top therapy practices in New York City. There, I honed my approach to insight-oriented, depth psychology and worked with many ambitious and highly educated clients from all over the world.
Fees
I am an out-of-network provider. Many insurance companies offer out-of-network benefits, which means that you will be reimbursed for part or all of our sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, I will submit directly to your insurance at the end of each month and you will then receive reimbursement from your insurance company. I have a limited number of sliding-scale appointments available on a case-by-case basis.
