I am a student therapist pursuing my doctorate under the supervision of Dr. Chelsea Chase. I am currently working with Avellar Warden Psychological Associates.
I empower clients by working collaboratively and allowing you to direct the session. This collaboration is fueled by my attunement to our therapeutic relationship and the safety of the therapeutic space. Our work together will cultivate a creative way for you to express your feelings. I work to help connect the mind, body, and spirit as we explore what comes up.
Through this process, you will learn ways to identify feelings, challenge stuck points, and create meaningful change in your life. This will be accomplished through inquiry, encouraging self-determination, and incorporating skills training such as mindfulness to better the mind-body connection. I am well-equipped to help individuals who struggle to articulate emotions by utilizing creative modalities and mindfulness practices that will be unique to each client.
Clients who would benefit most would be those who intellectualize problems, are open to exploring past feelings and experiences, seek to understand behavioral patterns, want help maintaining interpersonal relationships, or desire deeper growth and self-discovery.
Outside of therapy, my interests include camping, hiking, spending time outside, drawing and painting places I’ve visited, and collecting patches from travels. I also love listening to music and experimenting with cooking.
